RCMP investigates Access to Information Interference

The RCMP today announced that it was investigating a Conservative Party staffer who interfered in access to information requests for the Public Works department. The Party staffer resigned after a long list of similar "isolated incidents" were discovered.

The Harper Government and Conservative Party have taken the issue quite seriously, which is why only two years after the issue first came to light, the Public Works Minister has now called the RCMP in to investigate.


Previous incidents of interference (1) (2) with Access to Information requests by party staffers were also uncovered and all resulted the resignation or termination of the implicated party members.

In other new, the Prime Minister attended a Conservative Party pep rally in advance of an expected upcoming election call, but was unsure if he had the right address when nobody else appeared to have shown up.
