Andrew Coyne has the text of the Guité testimony tapes available, and hilights a few passages.

It will require ministerial authorization for me to disclose any discussions I've had with ministers prior to answer any questions that will deal with discussions with ministers...

 | Corruption in the highest levels of government, with tentacles reaching into crown corporations, into the RCMP. Career beaurocrats ignoring the rules. Secret accounts. $100 million missing. Falsifying receipts. Shawinigate. Untendered aircraft purchases. TotalFinaElf-Desmarais-Chrétien. Drug raids. Money laundering. At what point does government wrongdoing cross the line into organized crime? |
