in the case of R. v. Edward Byrne that improperly received public funds were
used to finance political campaigns of the Progressive Conservative Party of
Newfoundland and Labrador;
AND WHEREAS these
improperly received funds were not recorded as received or spent as per the
provisions of the Elections Act and
associated regulations;
AND WHEREAS the
Chief Electoral Officer of the Province, through his actions and inactions, has
been shown to be compromised and biased in his ability and willingness to
investigate potential misconduct on the part of members of the governing party;
AND WHEREAS it is
in the public interest to determine the precise nature and extent of this
channeling of improperly received public funds into campaigns of the
Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador in order to ensure
public confidence in our political system and our Government;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that this House of Assembly calls for an independent, third-party
investigation to determine the extent and nature of transfers of public funds
into partisan political operations and campaigns of the Progressive
Conservative Party of Newfoundland and
