Mr. Speaker, I guess the relevant price is somewhat in doubt.
No one dares stand in the way of this Prime Minister. In order for the Bourque scam to work it had to pass the cabinet Treasury Board committee. The PMO convinced the justice minister and the solicitor general to go along with it. However, Peter Harder, a senior civil servant, defended the taxpayers and resisted the deal. The Prime Minister swiftly had Harder transferred out of the department.
Why is it always those who try to protect taxpayers who find themselves punished by this Prime Minister?
