I think a lot of people saw the contempt stuff as nothing more than partisan games. Problem is that the opposition cried wolf so many times on stupid little things that people stopped listening.
Remember wafergate?

Yes. The government refused to provide information and finally was found in contempt.

Right, but when the government has information and doesn't release it, how is parliament supposed to make a decision? Either DND wasn't forthright or cabinet was misleading.
I can totally see why no one is too concerned though. Its only billions of dollars and probably the biggest defence contract the country has ever signed. Lets just brush aside an obvious problem that the AG found here and spend, spend, spend.
