Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question has to do with the whole area of accountability and the concept the public has of government and trust we put in ourselves when we come here to represent our constituents. I am seeing the controversy about patronage appointments, contracts being given to former Ministers and Members of our executive.

One of the areas that was considered during the different inquiries was the question about whistle blowing legislation that protects the bureaucrats and people within the government. It basically says they will not be axed if they came forth with something they felt was not right or was not being dealt with above board.

I would like to ask both candidates what will you do to build trust between the people and government, to ensure this government is more accountable to the people we are here to serve and to not go back to the way of the old boys club?
