Any evidence of it being a loan? I've not seen that.
Do you have any answers to these things I wonder about? Why did Wright just cut a cheque for $90k? Out of the goodness of his heart? It just doesn't make sense.
Doesn't it reflect terribly on the PM regardless of how this is dealt with? He appointed these three senators and all three have been abject failures in the sense the PMO now wants all of them suspended without pay. Of course he also hired Nigel Wright, and (if you believe the PM) he made a decision to pay a sitting senator $90k to deal with his issues. In return, the PMO (again with no involvement from the PM...if ypou can believe it!) would make the potentially embarrassing audit with Deloitte disappear. At best I guess you can say that all these people that Harper handpicked and appointed did everything without his knowledge, but in all sincerity its terrible judgement shown by Harper.
