Gotta love it. The Ethics Prime Minister being investigated by the Ethics Commissioner for enticing an elected parliamentarian to walk away from his voters and join another party.
“Superficial criticism” my foot!
It will be very interesting to see just how much of this investigation is made public, and how cooperative Messrs Harper and Emerson will be.
I am sure the voters of Vancouver Kingsway would like public disclosure of the materials provided to and part of the Ethics Commissioner’s investigation.
By the way, I wonder if the Commissioner will be calling for evidence from others directly involved? I could just imagine the number of disaffected Liberal party members who volunteered time and money to elect Emerson, relishing in his statements of opposition to Mr Harper’s New Tories, who would now welcome a chance personally to explain to the Commissioner just how much they feel cheated by the defection of their MP.
Must be at least a dozen voters who would like to explain their dismay, perhaps hundreds ...
Could be a long hearing.
