The province's constituency allowance scandal came into being because the former Liberal government - with the support of the Conservatives - removed an officer of the House of Assembly, thereby preventing that person from reviewing what they were doing.
They forced the auditor general out of the House of Assembly's account books.
Now, a court action has removed another officer of the House from reviewing material that used to be part of his job, and has made the government itself the arbiter of whether or not it is acting properly.
