Harper ducks queries about fundraising chief in Duffy affair

Prime minister won't address why Senator Irving Gerstein was open to repaying Duffy

Asked directly by a reporter about when he knew Senator Irving Gerstein, chair of the Conservative Party Fund, initially planned to repay Duffy's housing claims, Harper replied, "I said right from the outset that Mike Duffy should repay his own expenses. I was told that was what he agreed to do, and I was told that was what he had done."

The CBC's Catherine Cullen asked Harper Thursday why Gerstein and Chris Woodcock, a former PMO staffer who now works for a cabinet minister, were still part of Harper's team since RCMP documents say both were aware of the Duffy repayment.

Harper again would not directly answer, but said, after accusing Wright of "inappropriate actions" and Duffy of "deliberately lying to the public," said, "It is Mr. Duffy and Mr. Wright who are under investigation for their actions. That is what is appropriate for this case."
