(July 13, 2022) – David Brazil, PC Official Opposition Leader and MHA for Conception Bay East-Bell Island, welcomes the appointment of the Honourable Derek J. Green to review the report relating to the conduct of the Chief Electoral Officer.

“Former Chief Justice Derek Green is very well suited for this review, with expertise and experience in ensuring public officers are accountable for their actions. The allegations surrounding the contents of the report demand a serious response and I’m confident Chief Justice Green will deliver a thorough response,” said Brazil.

“I still question why this report took so long to become public knowledge. My office heard about this report weeks before it was publicly known, yet government did not act immediately. I hope all aspects of this report, including its handling by government, will be subject to the review. The people of Newfoundland and Labrador deserve to understand what transpired.”
