Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mulcair, you say you're familiar with the rules, yet you want to ignore 4.1 of the Members' Allowances and Services Manual. Are you familiar with bylaw 61, which says, under “Responsibilities of Member”, that:
...a Member may
(a) hire employees for the Member's Parliamentary office or constituency office.
Are you familiar with that, Mr. Mulcair, yes or no?
