Thank you.
Should there be any doubt that the minister is pressuring Canada Post and intending to use it in the most instrumental fashion as a tool of the government, consider the press release she also sent:
I will be discussing with the head of Canada Post in the coming days for a report on their plan to recover these funds.
Despite the fact that Canada Post is reimbursed, it has to be Transport Canada that deals with this.
Rest assured, every single penny that was misspent by the NDP will be paid back....
Now, putting all of these statements together, how would courts supplying administrative law look on the fairness of any Canada Post decision to seek payment from MPs when that decision comes from the fact or at the very least the appearance of political interference?
