As much as some Liberals on this forum like to point the finger at Harper, there was never any investigation launched against him, nor any charges ever laid. Trudeau is the first PM to ever have this happen, and his arrogant attitude when he addresses this issue , speaks volume about him. As for Mary Dawson, yes she was a Harper  appointee ,but was granted an extension by Trudeau, so in effect owes continuance in her job to Trudeau. if this case is not a conflict of issue, then we might as well drop it altogether,  save time and money and turn it into anything goes. Oh wait the Liberals are already doing that .
