stignasty Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Political, business elite blast Gomery proposals Updated Mon. Mar. 6 2006 1:51 PM ET Canadian Press OTTAWA — More than 60 members of the country's political and business elites say some of Justice John Gomery's key reform proposals would do more harm than good to the federal government. In a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the group argues that the drastic changes proposed by Gomery go far beyond what was needed to deal with the federal sponsorship scandal.

Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians." - Stephen Harper
geoffrey Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Of course the Ottawa business elite and bureaucracy want less restrictions. I mean, how can government function if you can't sell off your department to your friends? Quote RealRisk.ca - (Latest Post: Prosecutors have no "Skin in the Game") --
Leafless Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 stignasty It will be interesting to see how Mr.Harper will react to all of this. I can't help but wonder if the the reaction from our business elite would be the same if Mr. Martin was still captain? I suspect there would be no media outcry and the Gommery commissions recommendations would quite rapidly and quietly disappear. Certain people appear to be worried! Quote
