What did the Prime Minister know of this? We cannot yet say with certainty, but the evidence from the RCMP’s trove of recovered emails is strongly suggestive. The key exchanges are on page 33 of the affidavit. “I now have the go-ahead on point three,” Mr. Wright reports to Benjamin Perrin and others in the PMO, the Prime Minister’s legal counsel, “with a couple stipulations.” He cautions, “I do want to speak to the PM before everything is considered final.” And, less than an hour later: “We are good to go from the PM once Ben has his confirmation from [Mr. Duffys lawyer].” The go-ahead. Speak to the PM. We are good to go. It is hard to read that as anything but an indication that the Prime Minister not only knew, but approved of the deal. Andrew Coyne, National Post
