The minister then resigned, but has since attended a full caucus meeting and had a calming effect on the Liberal MPs. She has said nothing publicly because of the delicacy of lawyer/client privilege opposite the prime minister, who has declined to waive the privilege. This is the point at which this supposed scandal becomes uniquely Canadian. The story line of this scandal is absurd, but in its way, magnificently Canadian. The receivers are a bigger gang of crooks than any corrupt executives in this country going back to the CPR scandal of 1873.
