Photo showing Alderman John Flynn who was very to the point with his reactio. "I think it's very obnoxious", he said, adding he felt it ridiculous that anybody can have access to another's business accounts. Flynn felt a disclosures act of one kind or another was needed in provincial or federal politics. He said he didn't feel it was neccessary for small municipalities however.

Photo showing Alderman Ray Brady who commented, "I'm all in favour of [Bill 85]." He felt a few changes would have to be made but added it looked likely these would be made. Brady said it did not bother him that his or another officials disclosures would be accessible to the public, explaining the only reason such as act is before the legislature is because of the number of conflicts of interests which haven't been brought to the public's attention.
