Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Elections and Plebiscite Act be amended to direct that only the financial reporting status of elected members, not all candidates, be reported to the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess my question, I don’t really have a question because you can really ask a question, but why? What is the point of this one? Seriously, other candidates are running, you know...I think it is fair to the public to have everybody know what they are spending on their campaigns. Not just those that are successful, but everybody. So I am curious as
to why this was out. I am not going to support it. Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is about sitting Members, so once you are elected, it is about whether you filed. For those specific candidates who won, basically, and this is so those who were unsuccessful, if they haven’t filed it goes through a separate process and pursued separately by the Chief Electoral Officer. Because you could be deemed if you hadn’t filed your papers on time, you could be deemed in a way that you could not sit in your seat in the Assembly. It only really, in the end, applies to sitting Members. In the situation that if you hadn’t filed your papers and a report is made by the Chief Electoral Officer to the Clerk, they are the ones that would come down to you and say you are not allowed to sit until your papers are filed, so that doesn’t apply to those candidates who didn’t win or I should say who weren’t successful. So as far as anyone who doesn’t file their paperwork, it is pursued through the process of compliance and it is all made public. Thank you.
