Conflict of interest - Harper politics at it's ugliest

Paradis, then Public Works minister, directed his officials to set up special meetings with defeated Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer to discuss a private project.

During his visit to Thailand on Friday, Harper said he had reviewed the findings of Dawson’s report and found no wrongdoing.


"I think two things are clear. First of all, the minister didn’t act with any ill intention of any kind, nor has any substantial harm of any kind occur," said Harper.

Translation

"it's Ok to break the rules as long as you throw a fellow Minister under the bus"

To the contrary Mr. Harper, this is politics at its ugliest. It is abundantly clear that a minister in your own party was used as a sacrificial lamb to deflect attention from the wrong doing of Minister Paradis.

While I am not a fan of Helena Guergis and her husband I must say this revelation by the ethics commissioner certainly sheds new light on the underhanded actions of yourself and the Conservative Party to protect Minister Paradis.

Well Mr. Harper I think it is important for the Canadian voters to know why YOU felt it was necessary to humiliate Helena Guergis and destroy her career for something Christian Paradis was complicit in and why you now feel no harm was caused????

"Shame on you"
