Mr. Speaker, a prime minister once said, “The RCMP is doing very independent work...the Auditor General...is a very important independent officer of the House and both of them are doing their jobs.... I have nothing else to add.”
Who said that? That was Jean Chrétien defending the Liberal sponsorship scandal, sounding an awful lot like this Prime Minister, speaking of which we now know the RCMP is investigating the secret payout to Mike Duffy.
Has the current Prime Minister been in contact with the RCMP and who is the point person in his office for ensuring the full co-operation with the RCMP and the PMO staff?
