Yes we need an Inquiry

Please take the time to visit Simon Lono's discussion and petition site respecting the need to conduct a Public Inquiry on the current goings-on with MHA allowances and House of Assembly purchases.

There are too many questions and there are limited resources to find the answers to them. Each and every MHA must insist on this open and complete process as they have been sworn in to serve. This issue is more serious than a party scandal such as seen in Ottawa and Quebec with the sponsorship fiasco because the peoples House has been called into question. As this is not a hangout for party partisanship rather a place for the people's assembly we cannot and must not allow it to fall into disrepute.

If in the chamber for making laws - laws are broken, we must know in order to preserve our democracy. This is no joke and we should not make lightly of it. There is no room here for silly games like naming the scandal. That's why Randy likes to call his open-line - info-tainment. Yabba Dabba Doo will not cut it this time and we should treat it like the disastrous situation it is.
As our representatives they reflect on all of us, our societal values, and/or our collective integrity.

On the 90th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme please honour our men who died by preserving the freedom they valiantly fought for. Support a Public Inquiry.
