I am aware of the argument you've made with respect to the courts but I also believe that this body, this House, this Parliament also has responsibility for setting and removing the pay and benefits that its members receive. I don't know if a court has ever found that is not the case.
I am aware of that argument and I have considered it. Again, the real-life example, I believe, refutes it. As well, I think the mandate we're given under law to set our pay and benefits also permits us to decide under what conditions they would be revoked.
