No defense for firing?  This was a man who was found guilty of sexual harassment by a government investigator, and then later convicted in a court of law.  If you have information that is not in the public domain, such as the secret legal opinion obtained by Lorne Calvert's government concerning the firing of Murdoch Carriere, then I would implore you to table that opinion here (or on the internet).  Otherwise, all that can be concluded is that it is sheer misconduct and bungling on the part of Calvert and his government that led to the payment of $275,000 plus additional sums relating to pension credits.

Table the legal opinion if you have it, or tell your cronies in the party to convince Calvert to table the opinion under the immunity of Parliamentary Priviledge.  Otherwise, your beloved leader and party will continue to fall victim to the criticisms that have been levelled against it, and will not be able to credibly defend itself.
