Given Mr. Brinton's payout and that the position created for the person in question was for almost $30,000 per year in additional salary, what is the total cost of this patronage appointment
Given that a marketing expert with 25 years' experience was fired to make room for Carla Foote who is now being paid $50,000 more, will minister do the honourable thing and put the position to full and fair competition
Given that the individual was inserted into a position against the wishes of senior management and the board of directors, will the minister finally admit to a gross abuse of powers

How is Premier going to deal with the Clerk of Executive Council's compromised ability to be non-partisan
How many extra bus passes would the $80,000 increase in costs for the placement of Ms. Foote buy each year for people who need it most
If minister is being kept in Cabinet because he is a hard worker, why didn't the same standard apply to the Member for Humber - Bay of Islands
Is documented wrongdoing and failure to do the right thing by removing minister from Cabinet the kind of legacy the Premier wants
Is government only reviewing request for staffing action policies because they got caught in a lie, and is minister concerned that government's gross mismanagement has permanently turned away donors and volunteers

Who is telling the truth about the hiring of Carla Foote
Who offered Ms. Foote the official job, if not the Premier
Why is Premier letting one of his ministers take the fall for a hiring that he initiated
Will Government House Leader commit to keeping this sitting of the House open to fully debate any report which may be tabled
Will Government House Leader support the release of the results and all the documents related to the investigation
Will government vacate the position of Executive Director of Marketing at the Rooms and start over, using the correct hiring process
Will minister now admit that Mr. Brinton was forced out for resisting abusive power by the minister's own colleagues after his 15 years of service at The Rooms
Will Premier concede that he has failed miserably to take the politics out of government appointments, as now confirmed by two independent officers of the House
Will Premier confirm that he has a deal with the minister who is the subject of the Mitchelmore report, that in return for his staying silent on who ordered the hiring of Ms. Foote, he would be kept in Cabinet
