The Liberals are digging deep on this but I don't think they've thought this through to it's possibly nasty conclusion.

This seem to imply PMSH can rely on an effective majority in the HoC.

SDI has some good links
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/
A tidbit from the links
And yet it's in paragraph 41, where Mr. Schreiber suddenly makes reference to demanding repayment of the $300K paid to Mr. Mulroney in connection with Mr. Schreiber's dissatisfaction with Mr. Mulroney's apparent poor performance in connection with Bear Head and Reto Pasta, not Airbus.
Mr. Schreiber can't have it both ways. On the Fifth Estate, the $300K is reportedly in connection with Mr. Mulroney's alleged role in greasing the Airbus wheels, yet in Mr. Schreiber's most recent Affidavit it's for greasing the wheels of light armoured vehicles and pasta processes. Which is it?

If he is going to target people for libel and slander lawsuits, why didn't he start with Mr. Schreiber? Or has he done this already?

I'm not certain, but perhaps it is that Mr. Schriber doesn't have the cash to make it worth his money.
Also if I were being hounded by certain people who are elected to, and doing the slander through government avenues I'd damn well bring the fight to them before some ex-businessman, has been, crook awaiting deportation.

Here is another interesting piece from that Liberal mouthpiece, James Travesty that perhaps is another warning to the Liebrals.

Those are my words not "the Chin's" ;D
Besides, this is being pushed from inside the HoC. Schriber's allegations (which could have been leveled at any time in the last decade) should have been resoundingly ignored by one and all, and they probably would have been had the good ship Liberal not been circling the political drain under Capitan Dion's helmsmanship.

If there was any wonder exactly why Herr Schreiber was leveling these allegations this makes it all clear.
Care about the country, any idiot that believes Schreiber is doing this for the good of the country is, well an idiot.
I have to admit though, a lot of people are going to buy his line of crap. He's whipped up a media feeding frenzy which in turn is stirring the populace and now he's threatening to clam up and not tell about all the secret stuff he knows... Nudge, nudge wink, wink, if, oh wouldn't you like to know...
Seems to me that the Government will have little choice what to do with him. The optics of eliminating a "star" witness would prejudice the proceedings from the get go and tar the current government as covering up for the Mulroney government. This would negate the current governments ability to say that it didn't occur "on our watch".

Has anyone else thought that Mulroney and Schreiber might still be colluding? Should Schreiber be extradited he will spend his last miserable days in a German jail. In Canada he lives in a nice condo in Toronto. Immigration has his extradition underway, but the Inquiry will put that on hold.
I say extradite him, let the inquiry wither on the vine, and save the public $$$.

Ah, but the problem is that he says he won't if he's extradited.

That's a problem?
If, when the Commissioner calls him, he refuses to testify then all the Commissioner need do is say: "OK, boys and girls, that's it. Mr. Mulroney: please go back to your retirement with the thanks and apologies of Canadians. Journalists: please crawl back into your dark, dank, dirty holes. Lawyers: sorry, free lunch is over - back to "honest" work. Canadians: move along now, nothing to see here."

It's weird to watch this all going on, and I'm left wondering.....
Why is this making so much noise?
Simple
There isn't any REAL news.
The only news here is Schreiber will do anything he can to avoid extradition.
My guess is that the enquiry uncovers nothing relative to today's government.
But then........The gloves are off........Shawinigate lives!
The liberals suffer two or three more years of blowback.
I almost regret the lack of anything else to see on the National.
This public enquiry stuff is kind of boring.

Politically its a problem Edward.
As I've already alluded to, I believe Herr Schreiber is playing the system in order to avoid prosecution in his own country.
The problem is that politically the opposition will turn this into a shit sandwich for the government no matter how it is handled.
The only exception being if the commission is laboriously and painfully allowed to snake its money wasting over sensationalized and partisan way to an exoneration of Mulroney and a condemnation of Schreiber and all who called for the damn thing in the first place.
And as we both know there's a fat chance of that!!!
