However, the Liberal members combined to defeat it, on the grounds that the justice committee has always discussed its witness list in camera. Needless to say, that didn’t fly with Liberal committee members who were remarkably incurious about what these additional witnesses might contribute. It’s as well Leonardo di Vinci was not a Liberal committee member or the Renaissance might never have happened. I have argued in recent columns that the interactions between the Prime Minister’s Office and the attorney general, on the available evidence, likely fell short of interference. After the abject performance of the Liberals on the justice committee, I’m not so sure.
