Tape may show Martin knew about offer to Grewel

May 31 - This is all speculation just yet and, despite what we may want to believe, it is probably best to wait until the tapes are fully translated and made available to the public,. Nevertheless, this is intriguing: but according to CTV,

CTV News' Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reports that the Prime Minister knew of the negotiations.

According to Fife, the full four hours of transcripts of Grewal's taped conversations with a top Martin aide and Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh show:

- Martin was ready to talk to Grewal about defecting like he did with Belinda Stronach
- Grewal was offered a government position two weeks after the vote

The transcripts could be released Tuesday. Conservative House Leader Jay Hill has said the party will be turning the tapes over to the RCMP soon.

The federal ethics commissioner Bernard Shapiro is also expected to announce Tuesday whether he will conduct an investigation into the alleged Liberal deal-making.

As Greg Weston notes in relations to the limited mandate of the Gomery Inquiry, the RCMP has also been compromised by Adscam: Of course, the Mounties themselves were up to their musical ride in almost $2 million of sponsorship cash, much of it hidden in a non-government bank account in Quebec. It is hard not to raise one's eyebrows that they would investigate a matter of political wrongdoing or bribery (although I think it's fair to say that most of us still respect the rank and file Mounties - it's their leaders that are suspect.)

1 The limited mandate of the Gomery Inquiry may have been a very effective suppresant if the attempt for secrecy had held. The secrecy attempt failed to stick, so vast numbers of Canadians are aware of factual evedence against the Liberals. Evidence confessed by Liberal Officers and others out of cooperation so as to minimize upcoming criminal sentences. There is almost zero chance that any of the evidence is misleading or false. The Gomery Report could go into the shredder today. The irrefutable facts are recorded everywhere and are more than adequate grounds to dissolve Parliament and call an election. Letters to the Govenor General demanding her sworn duty be carried out are now justified. 73s TonyGuitar
