The note reads: "How did you get $800,000 loan from this gov't."

When the assembly reconvened last week, Groenewegen advised she would be following up on concerns her constituents have expressed about government business practices.

She followed up that notice with questions about the government's extension of a lease for space in the Lahm Ridge Tower signed shortly after the building was sold to two people with close ties to government.

The new lease runs for eight years, while the old lease was a month-to-month contract. At the request of Groenewegen, on Wednesday Minister of Public Works and Services, Jim Antoine presented a chronology of events surrounding the transaction. It states the new arrangement will save the government $1.4 million.

At the start of Tuesday's sitting, Groenewegen told the assembly she had received "warnings and admonitions with the accompanying details of what might happen" if she continued to investigate and question controversial government deals.

Before the day was up Groenewegen told the assembly about the note and tabled it, attempting to enter it into the record of the assembly's proceedings.

Asked if she was sure it came from a member of the assembly, Groenewegen said, "Absolutely."

"I have nothing to hide," Groenewegen said, adding that the loan referred to in the note had been made by the Business Credit Corporation five or six years ago, before she was an MLA.

Groenewegen used the money to finance the construction of an office building in her riding. The loan ws renewed recently.

She said the note did nothing to change her mind about questioning the government about its business.

"There will be more coming out on this, I can assure you," said Groenewegen.

The day after the note was tabled, Speaker Sam Gargan ruled it was inadmissible, since it was neither signed nor dated.

His decision, he said, was supported by a 1995 ruling which disallowed an unsigned letter a member tried to table.

"The tabling of unsigned documents ... raises fundamental issues with respect to the verification and authentication of facts that may be contained therein," said Gargan.
