punked Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Nothing seems to stick to Cauchon remember last year when this came up and then it vanished? http://www.vancouversun.com/news/justice+m...4444/story.html Quote:A Vancouver lawyer claimed under oath that former Liberal justice minister Martin Cauchon offered him federal prosecution contracts if he bought a table at a fundraising dinner for ex-prime minister Paul Martin, according to documents filed with the Supreme Court of Canada. Cauchon ceased to be minister of justice in December 2003 and did not run for re-election after Martin failed to name him to cabinet. He did not testify in the civil case in which the allegation was made, and his assistant said he was unavailable for comment while on vacation until Wednesday. The highly regarded, 46-year-old former MP for the toney Montreal riding of Outremont, a fierce loyalist to Martin's predecessor, Jean Chretien, said last fall he was considering a return to politics and even running for the Liberal leadership. The explosive claim that he bartered prosecution contracts in exchange for donations to Martin, if true, would suggest the ambitious minister was trying to ingratiate himself in the dying days of his mentor's regime.... Weird. Quote

Their heavy handed centralized power brokers have ruined the party. Sad. Quote Back to Basics
