Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the money being spent there is not working. It could be put to better use.
As I have already said, there are 21 municipalities represented by democratically elected men and women in my riding. Those people work hard in the interests of their constituents. They live in their city, not elsewhere, and they work for a laughable salary. Many of them have to get a second job to make ends meet.
When it comes to funding the Senate, I think that we could be paying far less than what we are now, for the same work.
