Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Brian Mulroney's former chief of staff, Norman Spector, stated that he had informed the present Clerk of the Privy Council, Jocelyne Bourgon, about an RCMP investigation of former Prime Minister Mulroney, one month before The Financial Post made this information public. Yet Mrs. Bourgon continues to deny that she obtained this information and passed it on to the Prime Minister or his advisers.
How does the Prime Minister explain the contradictions between the version given by Mr. Spector and that of Mrs. Bourgon?
