Being installed has its privileges:
Liberal Party organizer Thomas Pitfield, a senator’s son named principal secretary to the Prime Minister, yesterday was appointed to the Senate. The appointment came almost five years to the day that Liberal MPs blocked an investigation of public payments to Pitfield’s company, Data Sciences Inc. of Montréal: ‘He has a wealth of experience.’
Liberal MPs yesterday by a 5 to 4 vote quashed a Commons ethics committee probe of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed $1.45 billion bailout of Metro Vancouver condo speculators. A British Columbia New Democrat MP joined Conservative and Bloc Québécois members in denouncing the plan as a costly giveaway: “No one is buying it.”
