This is for Mr. McCowan. This would be around the numbers, the salary costs that we're looking at. Apparently, we're looking at an additional cost of approximately $20,000 per minister of state that will be retrieved entirely from the consolidated revenue fund of Canada.
Have all the ministers who are affected already accepted the increased salary? Is it retroactive? What is the total financial impact of this initiative, which is five times $20,000, or $100,000, that is going to be paid out of the consolidated revenue fund?
