But for instance, decreasing the number of MLAs decreases the size of government for sure, but unless that money is saved it doesn't necessarily make it more fiscally conservative. Spending that money on something else is just redistributing where the money is spent. I agree we need to do more with less, but the size of government has less to do with it than the efficiency of the dollars spent. A government can have 20 MLAs, doesn't necessarily mean they'll spend the money wisely. I think electing better people would help things more than electing fewer people.
