Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a few comments on this issue, on this motion. I have been looking at the issues. Again, I would like to state how unfortunate it is that we have to be sitting here and giving our comments or passing judgment or whatever you want to call it on individuals we work with or that are part of this Assembly, but it has been quite obvious through this whole report that the key players in this have had a part in whatever damage has been done to reputations, to people's careers. For me, I find it very hard to be able to blame and punish one and then overlook the actions of another that may have directly impacted what is coming down and the ones who do have to be corrected.

I have a pretty simple life so my involvement with the Conflict of Interest Commissioner, I have to say, was very brief and I found no reason to have a problem with her, but I, like a few other Members -- I guess when this committee was put, some of the information that was brought to light have given concerns in different areas. When it comes to the Conflict of Interest Commissioner, it has brought concerns about her ability to do her job.

Is it fair to say we are going to overlook that because she was inexperienced or she did not have the capacity to do it? I have to weigh it in the context of everything else, that everybody involved is implicated and had a role to play in what this committee was looking at.

I guess I could have stayed in the chair and not said anything but I think it is imperative that we all give our feelings on this and we have to stand up and say that when something is done wrong or if you are not doing your job properly, you are going to be called to task on it, I guess, and this is a very serious job.

You have to be able to be of the utmost confidence that whatever your dealings are with her are going to be confidential. I, as well as some other Members, have lost some confidence in the fact that the Conflict of Interest Commissioner has that.

As hard as it is to decide on all these issues, we do have to face them and deal with them and so I have been thinking about this for a while and I will be supporting this motion. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
