I dunno about you, but if there is an "inventory" of potentially relevant cabinet-related E-mails being assembled, does it not suggest that some of those requested E-mails must, in fact, have come back from the dead?
****
What the heckfire am I blathering on about this time?
Well, this thought bubble has arisen after reading Mark Hume's Globe story on today's court ruling:
Judge Bennett was recently given a government affidavit stating that backup tapes holding e-mail records for the period in question had been deleted. But a second affidavit, filed a few weeks later by the government, states that the records, or some of them, may be intact.
“At this point I am not dealing with whether these documents exist or have been destroyed,” Judge Bennett said in ruling the material is relevant.
George Copley, a government lawyer representing the Premier and cabinet, told court an inventory of electronic data files is being made and “a complete listing of what's available” will be ready on August 17.
Of course, I suppose a cynic might say that "a complete listing of what's available" could actually be nothing more ore less than a big, fat zero.
But I have way too much faith in the good faith of Mr. Copley to say something as cynical as that.
(yet)

And trust that sneaky/ever reliable Mr. Hume to hold off, and get the whole story of the day's RailGate courtroom proceedings before filing, unlike the rest of the local reporters that are suddenly swarming all over the place again.....
