to cut expense allowance

CANADIAN MPs should follow the lead of the na- tion’s senators and rescind a $6,000 expense allowance, North ‘Vancouver Liberal Sen. Ray Perrault said Tuesday.

By Surj Rattan News Reporter

He made the comment one day after the senators voted to cancel a $6,000 expense allowance they had voted themselves less than a month ago.

The allowance for the country’s 104: senators subsequently came under heated criticism from tax- payers and MPs.

That criticism resulted Monday in an 80-1 Senate vote to rescind the package.

Three B.C. senators failed to show up for the vote.

Perrault, who was not in the Senate to vote on the senators’ al- lowance last month, voted to res- cind the expense allowance this

eek and introduced a motion on Monday urging al] MPs to rescind a similar $6,000 expense allowance they had voted themselves on April 1, 1991.

‘I was opposed to the increase when the (Senate) vote was first taken,” said Perrault.

He added that the orginal vote was not scheduled to be held when the Senate had adjourned for summer vaction.

“‘We should invite the members of the House of Commons to take

similar action, starting with. the parity leaders. There’s no reason MPs can’t take similar action.

“The signal is out there and it isn’t a great deal of money in terms of indemnity,’’ said Per- rault.

His motion was' not put to a vote but Perrault said he hopes the move by the Senate to rescind the expense allowance package will encourage MPs to do the same.

obtener e sakes

He said taxpayers should not, at this time, be asked to foot the bill for extra expenses for the coun- try’s politicians.

“It sends out the right message. There’s some real hurt out there right now, and it isn’t a time for Parliament to look greedy.”

The $6,000 expense . allowance was designed to reimburse senators who lived outside Ottawa for living expenses while in Oi-
