Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my questions will be for both candidates for Premier. Mr. Chairman, during the course of the research that I have done over the past year, I was shocked at the number of people in the public service and the number of business people who were outright fearful to speak out, to speak their mind, to voice opinions with respect to fear of reprisal from this government. I would like to know what each of the candidates think could be done to allay that. I know in other jurisdictions they have things like whistle blower legislation where it is a criminal offence to retaliate against people who speak out in the course of doing their job. I do not where this became so entrenched in our government and how it could have escalated to the point that people could have this kind of fear for their business and for their jobs. It alarmed me. I would like to know what each candidate would do to address that situation.
