Eighty pages of police documents have catapulted the so-called “Senate Scandal” back to the centre of political questioning in Ottawa.
The documents placed before a judge on Wednesday (November 20) by Canada’s federal police force, the RCMP, outline a complicated web of communications among staff in the Prime Minister’s office, lawyers, and government senators in Canada’s upper chamber, the Senate.
In the House of Commons Question period on Wednesday, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper continued to insist his office, the PMO, is not being investigated, only his former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright and former government Senator Mike Duffy.
RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda has a report.
