Serious legal action against three big names in government by a serious and respected politician is usually cause for serious notice in the news media.
Oh wahahahaha sorry that’s only when it’s against conservatives! Oops!
No this story won’t have legs. Like President Bill (“I did not have sex with that woman”) Clinton, who surrendered his law license to avoid it being taken from him and was impeached by the House of Representatives, I’d advise these three liberals to turn in their credentials as well.
Tory MP files law society complaints against Peterson, Dosanjh and Murphy
A Conservative MP has filed complaints with two law societies against three Liberals – former Ontario premier David Peterson, federal Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh and the prime minister’s chief of staff Tim Murphy.
In separate letters of complaint written Monday, Tory John Reynolds says the three – all lawyers – offered Conservative MPs compensation in exchange for their support in key confidence votes on the Liberal minority government’s budget.
Reynolds alleges the actions of Peterson, Dosanjh and Murphy compromise the integrity of the legal profession.
He says they also could violate Section 119(1) of the Criminal Code, which prohibits people from offering members of Parliament “valuable consideration, office, place or employment” to influence their work in any way.
In letters to Ontario’s Law Society of Upper Canada, Reynolds says Peterson, Ontario Liberal premier from 1985 to 1990, and Murphy may have violated the Rules of Professional Conduct and Canada’s Criminal Code.
In a letter to the Law Society of British Columbia, he says Dosanjh may have violated the provisions of its Professional Conduct Handbook, as well as the Criminal Code.
