| The question of "out-sourcing" rises again today. Harper is out-sourcing the investigation into "NaftaGate" to a private company. It was discussed on CBC Radio this am. I responded with the following. Which probably won't be read because it's too lengthy. And not that well written. Too hasty. TO: TH... |
