It's well know that I'm not a supporter of Harper or the Conservatives, but this all seems like a tempest in a teapot. SeeBass nailed it. Harper didn't promise anything and Bernier is trying to make a bigger name for himself. The Conservatives have hurt themselves plenty in the past few months for the media to have a need to blow this story up beyond what it is.

Which seems a little ironic considering how quickly a cloud of opacity covered Ottawa. He muzzled his employees/caucus, made access to information more difficult in ways like eliminating CAIRS, fired whistleblowers as well as silenced critics in top government positions. Maybe his way of 'cleaning up politics' is cleaning out anything/anyone that could damage the image of the government.
