Modeling Journey

Good news for those interested in protecting Canada's democratic form of government, and particularly for those seeking to protect and preserve the office of the Prime Minister of Canada (including PM Harper in the latter group): the majority of MPs on the Ethics Committee have voted to call Messrs. Schreiber and Mulroney to appear before them in order to answer questions about the tiff between Schreiber and Mulroney....

Ethics committee calls on Mulroney, Schreiber to testify

The Committee will also ask questions about the role of the Harper government with respect to the Schreiber letters addressed to PM Harper - the Lettergate affair.

The Tory MPs voted against any inquiry by the Ethics Committee into whether any of the rules of ethics - which applied to Mulroney as PM and as MP at the time Schreiber alleges (which allegation is not proven in court) that he cut a deal with Mulroney - were breached.

It is good to see the MPs representing the majority of the voters in Canada cooperate on investigating such a serious matter, especially after their rocky start to such a course.

Canadians might have answers to several serious questions within a week or two, especially as Parliamentary privilege will protect both Mulroney and Schreiber with respect to any statements they make to the Ethics Committee.

It is also good to actually see ethical behaviour taking place in Parliament, as compared to the lip service we seem to have been getting lately from the "new" Tory government.
