"As Speaker, I have no issue with party leaders
disclosing payment of MPs legal expenses related to the work
of the MP and made from the leader's budget.
With respect
to the question of whether this should be mandated, or done
at the discretion of each party leader, I have an open mind.
The appropriate forum to discuss this issue is the PSC,
and I will place the matter on the agenda for the next
meeting."
