Canada’s Official Opposition NDP is calling for the Director of Public Prosecutions to review evidence collected by the Canada’s federal police the RCMP involving Senator Mike Duffy, and to determine whether a former Chief of Staff of Prime Minister Stephen Harper should also be charged.
In a letter to the Director, the Official Opposition’s ethics critic Charlie Angus writes: “As Mike Duffy goes to trial, a lot of Canadians are wondering why the PMO [Prime Minister’s Office] staff involved in a secret $90,000 payment to a sitting senator are walking away from this scot-free.”
The initial story about the payment became public in 2013 and was then followed by the resignation of the Chief of Staff.
RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda has a report.
