Reductions are of course being made to the House administration. I cannot comment on the impact that will have on members because it is a recent decision. However, I can say that the process for identifying the reductions was very difficult. The Board of Internal Economy considered many factors. Decisions were made to reduce certain types of expenses and not others. A lot of factors are involved in this process. It is difficult to consider any one factor in isolation because many other aspects are affected by this decision.
