Florida CFO Endorsed By Trump To Replace Matt GaetzThe Mexican government wants to make living in a corruption-free environment a constitutionally enshrined human right. Senator Javier Corral, a lawmaker with the ruling Morena party and a former governor of Chihuahua, said last week that in the coming months, he would present an initiative to create a General Law for the Investigation and Punishment of Acts of Corruption. Speaking in the state of Morelos at an annual meeting of Mexico’s anti-corruption prosecutor’s offices, Corral said that President Claudia Sheinbaum had entrusted him with the task of examining the best ways that corruption can be combated. While governor of Chihuahua, he made bringing his predecessor César Duarte to justice on corruption charges a central aim of his government. The proposed law Corral is slated to present to Congress would enshrine in the constitution a new human right: the right to live in a corruption-free environment and to enjoy responsible and lawful public administration by Mexican authorities. According to the newspaper El País and a statement from Mexico’s Senate that summarized Corral’s remarks last week , the law would: Former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador made combatting corruption a central aim of his administration, and less than a year into his six-year term declared that there was “zero corruption” in the federal government as a result of his dedication to “sweeping away” what had developed over the previous 30 years. But Sheinbaum believes there is more work to do, such as disbanding a number of autonomous government agencies. She recently said that the elimination of seven such agencies — as approved by the Senate last week — would lead to “more transparency” in government and help to eliminate corruption. Corruption has long been a problem in Mexico, with various scandals plaguing the 2012-18 government of former president Enrique Peña Nieto. Despite López Obrador’s determination to eliminate corruption — and his declarations that he had achieved his goal — his administration also faced accusations of corruption, including ones related to Mexico’s food security agency Segalmex and the Youths Building the Future apprenticeship scheme . While corruption is common in Mexico, so too is impunity for that crime — and various others. Even if a person is convicted of corruption and serves jail time, the money and/or assets they obtained as a result of their crime are not “normally” recovered, El País reported. As mentioned above, one of the objectives of the proposed General Law for the Investigation and Punishment of Acts of Corruption is to change that situation. In Morelos last week, Corral — who was affiliated with the National Action Party until joining Morena this year — described corruption as a “social cancer” that weakens Mexico’s democratic institutions and the rule of law. According to the statement issued by the Senate last Wednesday, he also said that his proposed law would seek to stop Mexico’s “culture of impunity” from being an incentive for the proliferation of corruption. Corral noted that Mexico’s anti-corruption prosecutor’s offices have a central role in the fight against corruption and in restoring citizens’ confidence in Mexico’s institutions. “But let’s not fool ourselves,” he added. “Combating corruption is not and never will be a simple task.” With reports from El País

OTTAWA — The House of Commons Speaker has intervened to end a parliamentary impasse, ruling that opposition business will happen later this week after the Conservatives blocked their own ability to try and bring down the government this morning. Greg Fergus has scheduled opposition days for Thursday and Friday, meaning the government could face another non-confidence vote as early as Monday. His decision follows an unsuccessful attempt this morning by Liberal House leader Karina Gould to temporarily stop a filibuster that has taken up much of the Commons' time for nearly two months. The Conservatives signalled an intent to introduce a non-confidence motion quoting NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's criticism of the Liberals, in a bid to get his caucus to vote to bring down the minority government. But the Tories rejected Gould's offer to have that motion heard today, with the party saying it would only end its filibuster if the Liberals provide documents they're demanding, or if the NDP agrees to vote non-confidence in the government. The filibuster is part of an ongoing privilege debate related to a Conservative demand that the Liberals provide unredacted documents to the RCMP about allegations of misspending at a now-defunct green technology fund. Opposition parties must be given four days to introduce their own motions before Dec. 10 — also the deadline for the House to vote to approve billions of dollars in spending, without which some government departments risk running out of money. Two Conservative opposition motions declaring non-confidence in the government were defeated in September with the Bloc Québécois and the NDP voting against them. The Bloc has since pledged to work with the other opposition parties to defeat the government after the Liberals refused to adopt a Bloc bill to raise old age security payments for seniors under age 75. However, Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said his party would only vote in favour of non-confidence motions that are deemed to be in the best interests of Quebec. Singh has said his party will take each non-confidence vote on a case-by-case basis, and has said that while his party is ready for an election it does not want to push for one immediately.

From Jude Chinedu, Enugu The Governor of Enugu State, Chief Peter Mbah, has commended the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for championing unity and cohesion among Nigerians. Speaking during the recently concluded National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Christian body, held in Enugu for the first time, Mbah noted that CAN has consistently promoted harmony among different faiths in the country. The President of CAN, His Eminence, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, stated that Nigerians expect collaboration between the government and critical stakeholders to improve the well-being of the people. He said: “Nigerians expect to see impactful collaboration with the government and other critical stakeholders to combine synergy in strengthening the institutions of government and agencies established to improve the livelihood of people. “Christians should also be reassured that we are ever ready to defend the Christian faith in such a way that we do not oppress others but collaborate to ensure that Nigeria works for the benefit of all. “The NEC meeting is where we discuss issues of national unity and national concern. We seek ways to positively impact the lives of Nigerians regardless of one’s religion, political affiliation, or ethnic background. “We are in Enugu State because we decided to rotate our meetings to leverage them to impact the lives of our members and the general public, especially those at the grassroots level. “This happens to be the first time we are rotating the meeting from Abuja, and we are happy with the way our brothers in Enugu received us. We thank the Governor, Dr Peter Mbah, for the hospitality extended to us since yesterday.” The Chairman of CAN in Enugu State, Reverend Emmanuel Edeh, added that Christians, as critical stakeholders in Nigeria, cannot afford to neglect praying for and supporting the government, emphasising that this aligns with God’s instructions. The event was attended by delegates from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Dallas’ Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown, and the Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Commanders’ skid to three games. Seibert, who missed the previous two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt following a low snap. Thomas then took the kick back 43 yards as the Cowboys (4-7) ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

The Gophers have been working on a couple trick plays during closed practices in recent weeks. Unveiled Saturday, one worked to huge success and one didn’t pan out in a 26-25 loss to No. 4 Penn State. ADVERTISEMENT They busted out a double-reverse pass that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown from Max Brosmer to a wide open Jameson Geers in the first half to take a 17-10 lead at Huntington Bank Stadium. Then in the fourth quarter, the U called a throwback pass from Brosmer to left tackle Aireontae Ersery on second and goal from the 8-yard line. Brosmer intentionally threw it incomplete because Penn State’s All-America candidate, defensive end Abdul Carter, was waiting to make a tackle on the U’s athletic-but-massive lineman. “The reverse pass worked, so it’s a good call,” coach P.J. Fleck said postgame. “We were in the perfect defense for (the throwback pass). We practiced it all week. The only thing that they showed ... was pop (Carter) out. If he doesn’t pop out, there is nobody there. “It just didn’t come together,” Fleck continued. “It came together in practice. I love the call. I loved the look that we put it into. I would call it all over again based on the look that we had.” ADVERTISEMENT Brosmer shared that players were comfortable with the throwback call until Carter spoiled it. “Rather than taking a negative spot (by trying to complete it), we just went onto the next play,” Brosmer said. After the second trick play didn’t work, Brosmer’s third-down pass to Elijah Spencer fell incomplete and the U opted to kick a 26-yard field goal to make it 26-25 with five minutes left. “Kicking the field goal is the smart decision,” Fleck said.
