Re: Mark arcobello
WHy even bother posting this? He was barely worth anything when he was actually playing in the NHL and now he's been brought out behind the woodshed.
Re: Mark arcobello
Why bother posting that ^ seems like the same amount of work for no reason?
He likely has a better chance of returning to the NHL than a 4th rounder or later ever has a chance of being an NHLer. Maybe someone wants to do a switch.

If you troubled me with having to click on the post and reading the thread content, I'll bother you with this.
Infact, just to waste your time. Here is the full explanation for Understanding the 2009-2010 House of Commons Expenditures Report
Understanding the 2009-2010 Report
This report outlines the expenditures for fiscal year 2009-2010 from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 for Members of the House of Commons.
The Speaker of the House of Commons, on behalf of the Board of Internal Economy, tables the Individual Member's Expenditures report on an annual basis pursuant to the By-laws of the Board of Internal Economy. The tabling of the Individual Member's Expenditures report coincides with the tabling of the Public Accounts of Canada. Prior to tabling, Members receive a copy of their Individual Member's Expenditures report for review and validation.
Members' expenditures are based on receipts provided and approved by the Member. Consistent with Treasury Board policies, receipts are not required for expenditures related to the per diem while in travel status, kilometre travel by personal vehicle or private accommodation while in travel status; these expenses are based on utilization as reported by the Member.
The report sub-divides the expenditures by: Member's Budgets and Resources Provided by the House.
The Member's Budgets column summarizes the expenditures made by the Member using two separate budgets; their Member's Office Budget (basic budget of $284,700 + applicable supplements) and a budget of $25,468 for accommodation and per diem expenses. Each of these budgets are subject to conditions and restrictions on their use as determined by the Board of Internal Economy.
Member's Office Budget: Effective April 1, 2009, the basic annual Member's Office Budget for all constituencies was $284,700. Members who represent densely populated constituencies may also receive an Elector Supplement, ranging from $8,700 to $52,140. Members who represent constituencies of 500 square kilometres or more also receive a Geographic Supplement, ranging from $4,810 to $52,900. Members who represent constituencies listed in Schedule 3 of the Canada Elections Act receive an additional supplement of $16,830 or $20,200. Following by-elections, newly elected Members receive a Member's Office Budget that is prorated based on the number of days from the date of the by-election to the end of the fiscal year (March 31). The Member's Office Budget is used for employee salaries, service contracts, advertising, constituency office leases, office operating costs (including the acquisition of furniture and other equipment) and some travel expenses, subject to the direction and restrictions of the Board of Internal Economy.
Member's accommodation and per diem expenses: Effective April 1, 2009, Members may charge certain accommodation (hotel or private), meal and incidental expenses they personally incur while in travel status, up to $25,468. Members may also charge their expenses for a declared secondary residence. Members who rent a secondary residence may claim, upon the presentation of receipts, rental expenses, basic utilities including telephone, cablevision, Internet, oil, gas, water, etc. and one parking space. Members who own a secondary residence may claim an accommodation rate of $28.42 per day for each day it is available for the Member's occupancy and is not rented to any other person. Otherwise, Members may claim hotel expenses upon the presentation of receipts, or the private accommodation rate of $50.00 per night when in travel status. Members representing constituencies in the National Capital Region are not eligible to claim accommodation expenses when in the National Capital Region. When Members are in travel status, their meals and incidental expenses are reimbursed at the approved per diem rate, which is based on the formula used by Treasury Board for all public service employees. Members who maintain a primary residence within 100 kilometres of the Parliamentary Precinct, or whose constituency is located within the National Capital Region, may claim breakfast and dinner on days when the House is sitting and the Member works a minimum of 11 hours, including transit time to and from the Member's home.
The Resources Provided by the House column summarizes the costs incurred by the House of Commons Administration to support Members in the discharge of their parliamentary functions.
The individual Members' expenditures are presented in six categories. Each category is explained below.
Employees' salaries and service contracts: Members are the employers of their employees. They may recruit, hire, promote or release either full- or part-time employees and determine their duties, hours of work, and classification of positions. Members determine the salary for their employees up to the annual maximum salary limit, which was $80,900 in fiscal year 2009-2010. Members may not hire members of their immediate family or their parents. Members may obtain the services of contractors to provide them with professional, scientific, technical or administrative expertise. Among other things, Members may not enter into a contract with either a member of their immediate family or a parent. Neither Members nor their immediate family or parents may benefit, directly or indirectly, from any contract.
Travel: Members travel within their constituencies, to and from Ottawa, and elsewhere in Canada to carry out their parliamentary functions. Members are allocated 64 travel points each fiscal year, of which 25 special points may be used for travel anywhere within Canada. A travel point is equivalent to one return trip. Members may allocate some of their travel points to a designated traveller (up to 64 points), dependants (up to 30 points) and eligible employees (up to 21 points). Members may also use up to four of the 25 special points for travel to Washington, D.C. on parliamentary business. Subject to certain conditions, eligible Members and other authorized travellers will be reimbursed for their accommodations (hotel or private), per diems and incidentals when travelling for parliamentary functions. Members who maintain a primary residence within the National Capital Region may claim transportation costs at the approved kilometre rate for the commuting distance travelled between the Member's home and the Parliamentary Precinct while carrying out their parliamentary functions. This category is sub-divided as follows:
Member, designated traveller and dependants
Employees
Member's accommodation and per diem expenses: In consideration of the fact that Members are required to work long periods in both Ottawa and the constituency in order to fulfil their parliamentary functions, Members are provided with an additional separate budget of $25,468 against which they may claim their expenses for a declared secondary residence, hotels or private accommodations, as well as accommodations, meals and incidentals they personally incur while in official travel status. Members who rent a secondary residence may claim, upon the presentation of receipts, rental expenses, basic utilities including telephone, cablevision, Internet, oil, gas, water, etc. and one parking space. Members who own a secondary residence may claim an accommodation rate for each day it is available for the Member's occupancy and is not rented to any other person. Members from the National Capital Region are not eligible to claim the secondary residence rate.
Hospitality and events: Members may charge up to 3% of the Member's Office Budget for hospitality expenses (ranges from $8,541 to $10,734) related to the Member's parliamentary functions but excluding partisan activities. Hospitality expenses include:
meals for the Member and guests when accompanied by one or more guests;
tickets for meals with service groups or at community events or other meetings of a non-partisan nature;
food and any beverages served at meetings and non-partisan events;
small token items, such as buttons, pins, ribbons, and certificate holders; and
gifts not exceeding $100 given as a matter of protocol to recognize the value and importance of a person, event or organization from the Member's constituency that has contributed positively to the community, or gifts given to a civic leader or dignitary. Gifts may not be given to staff or to current or former Members, under personal or partisan circumstances, or for the purpose of fundraising for a third party. Members must approve the purchase of the gifts and must provide information related to the recipients and purpose of the gifts.
Advertising: Members may use up to 10% of their Member's Office Budget for advertising (ranges from $28,470 to $35,780). Members must approve the content of the advertisement, provide a copy of the advertisement in the published format to the House Administration and approve the invoice. Print advertisements must contain the Member's name and contact information. Advertisements must support at least one of the following purposes:
communicate the Member's office location and contact information;
communicate assistance and services they provide to all constituents;
communicate meeting announcements related to the discharge of the Member's constituency functions;
issue congratulatory messages or greetings to constituents; and
support the Member's parliamentary functions, including issuance of partisan opinions or advocacy statements.
Printing: Members are provided with printing and photocopying services for householders, ten percenters and personalized stationery. Members must approve the content of the printed material. This category is sub-divided by the costs incurred for each of the following:
Householders are printed materials sent by Members to inform their constituents about parliamentary activities and issues. Members are allowed to print and mail up to four householders per calendar year per household in the Member's constituency, which on average represents 45,000 households per householder.
Ten percenters are printed or photocopied materials reproduced in quantities not exceeding 10% of the total number of households in a Member's constituency. Members may print and mail an unlimited number of ten percenters per year however each ten percenter must have a 50% difference in textual content from other ten percenters produced that year and can only be distributed within the Member's own constituency, which on average represents 4,500 copies per ten percenter.
Stationery and printing-related expenses: Members are provided with personalized stationery including letterhead, business cards, etc., as well as copies of committee reports, government and private Members' bills, and analytical indexes.
Offices: Members are provided with an equipped office within the Parliamentary Precinct in Ottawa. Members may establish one or more offices in their constituencies and equip these offices. Members assume the custody of the office assets however all assets remain the property of the House of Commons. This category is sub-divided by the costs incurred in fiscal year 2009-2010 for each of the following:
Constituency office leases, insurance and utilities: Members may charge the cost of their office leases and liability insurance as well as the cost of the utilities for their constituency offices, for example, hydro and gas, if not already included in the lease agreement.
Furniture, furnishing and equipment purchases: Members may purchase furniture and office equipment for their constituency offices subject to certain conditions.
Equipment rentals: Members may enter into equipment rental agreements, for example, for photocopy equipment.
Informatics and telecommunication equipment purchases: Members may purchase computers, laptops, printers and other related equipment for their constituency offices, subject to certain conditions. Members are provided with four telephone handsets and up to four wireless devices; they may purchase additional handsets, wireless devices or accessories and charge all related expenses to the Member's Office Budget.
Telecommunication services: For their primary constituency office, Members are provided with four land lines, one fax line, one toll-free number and associated telephone services. Long-distance charges for all land lines are paid for by the House of Commons Administration. Members are provided with one data plan and up to three voice plans for their maximum of four wireless devices, including air time and long-distance charges. Additional monthly service fees for additional devices and equipment are charged to the Member's Office Budget.
Repairs and maintenance: Members may charge the cost for the repair and maintenance of their constituency offices or assets, for example, equipment maintenance and cleaning services.
Postage and courier services: Members may charge the distribution cost of printed material using the preferred bulk mailing rate and certain other postal and courier expenses.
Materials and supplies: Members may purchase materials and supplies necessary for the operation of their offices, subject to certain conditions.
Training: Members and their employees may take training on such aspects as media relations, presentations and computer software.
