Harper rejects Gomery Proposals
No big surprise here. It's always easier to criticize the actions of others than impose controls on yourself.
When the Conservatives were in opposition, they used Gomery and the Sponsorship Scandal to advance their agenda and sink the Liberal government, and justifiably so in my opinion. Now that Harper is in power, putting the controls in place that would limit the PMO's control is far less attractive.
This is why the Federal Government never gets any more accountable. Power once given never seems to be returned.
