Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have a number of contractors who work for this Assembly who provide independent advice. I would point out that the problem in the Prime Minister's situation was the advice was not seen as independent. How can an ethics counsellor be seen to be giving independent advice when their contract is administered by the secretary to Cabinet?
