Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe this motion in particular will be hopefully non-contentious. We did have brought to the attention of the committee by one of the individuals who made the submission of a situation where, in the past, an individual had been elected, they had not yet been sworn in as an MLA, and there were some actions taken by that individual that were questioned in terms of the conduct. What we found was that the conduct guidelines did not apply to anyone who is a Member-elect until they are actually sworn in. So, the Committee turned its mind to this issue of what happens during this period of a gap. What we did was, we came up with the recommendation that you see, so that anybody who intends to be in Cabinet -- sorry, not into Cabinet, but a candidate -- wishful thinking on my part, perhaps. Anybody who would like to serve as a candidate would agree that they would abide by the same code of conduct as someone who would serve, so it would take it right back to an individual who would like to indicate that they would be prepared to serve as a candidate.
That is what the goal of this first motion is, is to fill in that gap period, and I believe that all Members should support this. I think it should not be a contentious matter. We just want to make sure that candidates, Members-elect, will hold themselves to the same sort of standards that sitting MLA would then. I would look forward to my colleagues to vote in favour of this motion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
