Thank you, Madam Chair.

I agree that we should increase the amount. I've been on HUMA now for six years, and the amount has not moved. The fact that there is—and I apologize—the number that's in the account right now, $24,000 or what have you.... It doesn't have to be $7,500, but I think an increase is in order, so maybe it's $6,500 or $7,000—whatever the committee feels is appropriate. I certainly am in favour of bumping that up a bit.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
