“Maybe he should look at the Federal Accountability Act and look at the great changes, especially, that this Prime Minister has ushered in.” ---------------------------------------------------------------- You mean these changes mr baird? Lying The Conservatives cut five rules from the old conflict of interest code, which has been amalgamated into the Federal Accountability Act. One of the nixed rules required the prime minister, cabinet ministers and senior government officials to “act with honesty”—meaning that politicians are now technically allowed to deceive. Lobbying No part of the act requires ministers to disclose contact with lobbyists, even though the Conservatives promised Bill C-2 would put an end to backroom lobbying. Secrecy The Conservative government promised to ensure that disclosure requirements of the Access to Information Act would not be trumped by secrecy provisions in other federal acts, but hasn’t followed through. This means it is allowed to withhold public information in the interest of national security. Conflict of interest Cabinet ministers are still allowed to be involved in policymaking decisions that affect their personal financial interests, due to the removal of five rules from the conflict of interest code, including one that that requires those in public office to avoid “real, potential or apparent conflicts of interest.” Whistle-blowing The Conservatives promised that all Canadians who report government wrongdoing would be protected from harm, but Bill C-2 disappoints again. While most—but not all—government employees are protected under the law, civilians are left no legal recourse if fired, demoted, sued or otherwise harassed by employers should they report on shady dealings with a government agency.

the difference between those who are disciplined and those who aren't is easy to explain. those who are disciplined were because of their own actions whereas those who are not disciplined are just following the prime minister's orders

it was not the senate that trashed this bill after the HoC's passed it, it was the reform/conservative senators. please put the blame where it belongs and don't blame the entire senate.

well thank you for the invitation Dennis, I think I'll do just as you ask harper voted to cancel the helicopter purchase in 1993 which he admits was a mistake and is now saying is the reason we need to spend a gazillion dollars of cost overruns on helicopters and new shiny planes without a plan for the military future (Defence Minister peter mackay told Lt.-Gen. Leslie to figure out the military’s future)
