Depends how you want to spin it:

Reynolds says the story simply isn't true.
"I didn't arrange anything for Mr. Kilrea," Reynolds told Canada AM Tuesday. "I don't know him. if i was to bump into him, i wouldn't know who he was. i don't remember even discussing him with anybody, so I don't know where he would get that from."
Kilrea admitted to CTV that he has never spoken directly to Reynolds. "He probably wouldn't know me if he stepped over me," Kilrea said.

Quote:
O'Brien has rejected allegations that he tried to pay off Kilrea to leave the race. He told reporters today that he is "delighted" by the news that an investigation has been launched, saying he trusts it will be completed in a "timely manner."
"It's an old story that keeps popping its ugly head up, and let's get some clarity and some finality to it," he said. "At first I ignored it, but if this keeps popping up I don't think the citizens of Ottawa want it; I don't want it. So I welcome this."

So, there may be a big issue here, or there may just be one person trying to make a name for himself. All depends on how it's spun.
