Who Cares About The Harpoon....

.....Bring On The Mata Hari Of The 450*!

From David Akin's latest report on what some have dubbed the 'Is His Head Really An Empty Suitcase?' affair:

The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security will begin hearings June 10 into the Bernier affair, and has issued invitations to Harper, Bernier, his ex-girlfriend Julie Couillard, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day and some bureaucrats.

"The key question is, what happened?." said Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh and his party's critic for public safety. "What breaches of national security occurred?"

A source close to the prime minister indicated he would decline the committee's invitation.

"The opposition should stop trying to score political points after the minister has resigned," said Dimitri Soudas, the prime minister's deputy press secretary.

Harper, Bernier and Day - just like any MP - cannot be compelled to testify before a Commons committee. But Couillard can be subpoenaed, which means she risks a contempt of Parliament charge if she fails to appear to before the committee.

Which begs the question.....

Based on all that has taken place so far, why would anyone seriously believe that Ms. Couillard pass up the chance to lord her smarts over Mr. Bernier and his former Maximum Bossman one more time?

Eh?

*450 is the Area Code for Laval, the Montreal suburb that Ms. Couillard calls home.
