    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, those officers who approved those salaries, in fact, gave reasons why they did so. They said that this particular Commission is a special one whose life ends after five years. Its mandate, according to the Constitution, is among other things to supervise other commissions. It also carries out an oversight function over Parliament, the Executive and the Judiciary. Because of these added responsibilities conferred upon this Commission, they saw it in their wisdom that it was necessary to remunerate it especially outside the guidelines which have been set by the Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, using the arguments that they have used, it seems it is fairly persuasive. That is why the Government is not inclined to take any other disciplinary action against those officers."
