I appreciate the quick response from the Premier and his willingness to address this. I would certainly hope that I’d get a response back and that he’d have this tabled within we’ll say 10 days. That seems reasonable, because I’ve had people inquire about this at my office.
My last question would be is that under the report respecting benefits paid to Ministers under the Ministerial Benefits Policy, reviewing old tablings, which goes up to March 31, 2011, not all information is there. For some reason there’s information highlighted out, and what I may point out are things like hospitality where Ministers, I believe, are paid $1,000 cash in order to, well, whatever hospitality equals.
I would ask the Premier to ensure that all things are fully accounted for in the tabling, and even if it is a Board of Management issue, I would ask him to show the leadership on this particular issue and table it anyway to demonstrate the transparency and accountability we all strive for.
