I am also in the negative on this one, preferring (so far) Eovart's FIPA proposal.

How about this?:
WHEREAS Transparency in the government is essential for citizens to put their whole trust in the nation's leaders; and
WHEREAS Trust is the basis of every good relationship; and
WHEREAS it is a duty of the Ziu to hold the Government accountable for its actions and to scrutinize them thoroughly; and
WHEREAS if one does not ask something then one does not get something; now
THEREFORE it is the sense of the Ziu that it shall conduct 'Executive's Question Time,' where the Seneschal and Cabinet Ministers (“the Executive”) shall take direct questions from members of the Cosa and Senäts. The topic of said questions must be related to Governmental affairs, including that of the Cabinet Ministries.
ADDITIONALLY A session of 'EQT' shall commence upon the opening of each Clark and end with the conclusion of each Clark. The Government shall attempt to respond to all questions prior to the conclusion of a session.
FURTHERMORE the Tuischac’h of the Cosa shall be responsible for ensuring that all questions are relevant and appropriate, and shall be the ultimate authority on the limits and mechanics of the questioning process.

that sounds a bit better. Still, I have had word from the SoS that the bill won't be clarked. I will continue to pursue the FIPA instead.

Mind if I hijack this Bill? I'll see if it can be made into something acceptable for the next Clark.

Mind if I hijack this Bill? I'll see if it can be made into something acceptable for the next Clark. E By all means. I obviously like the spirit of the bill, but through the discussion I have opted to go for a different route. If someone else can make it work, my hat goes off to them. Go for it.
