Unemployed watchdogs speak out...

Former watchdogs speak out on Harper government
OTTAWA -- Three former government watchdogs joined with federal Liberals today to argue that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservatives can't handle criticism. And Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is vowing that if he is elected to the top job, he will respect independent criticism, even if it causes him grief.
How about supporting electoral reform so that the PM can be even more accountable to Parliament and the voters?

The former watchdogs include Linda Keen, Canada's former overseer of nuclear safety, Paul Kennedy, former head of the RCMP public complaints commission and Peter Tinsley, the former head of the military complaints commission.
