The Conservative Party is trying to put the boots to a trial that could shed light on secret backroom deals that paved the way for the candidacies of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Public Works Minister Stockwell Day.
Mr. Harper has hired a lawyer to represent him at a proceeding being held this week to determine whether there was implied confidentiality in the Conservative Party's agreement with Alan Riddell, who gave up the nomination in the riding of Ottawa South so the Tories could run a high-profile candidate.
The Conservatives are recommending that the trial should be adjourned — a position Mr. Riddell's lawyer says may have been influenced by the fact that details of similar agreements made for Harper and Day could be called as evidence.
I love the smell of sanctimonious hyprocisy in the morning...
