Mulroney Schreiber Inquiry. Led by a Mulroney appointee.

I suppose when asked Stephen Harper's response will be that he "missed" that part. From the Office of the Prime Minister:

JUSTICE JEFFREY JAMES OLIPHANT Justice Oliphant was appointed on August 22, 1985 as a Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba. On December 24, 1990 he was appointed as Associate Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba. He was appointed a Deputy Judge of the Nunavut Court of Justice in October 2002 and is a former Chair of the Judicial Inquiry Board of Manitoba. Justice Oliphant was born February 10, 1944. He graduated from the Faculty of Law from the University of Manitoba in May 1967 and was called to the bar on June 2, 1967. He worked for the law firm of Johnston & Company in Dauphin, Manitoba from 1967 – 1985.

On the surface all this looks pretty good. Justice Oliphant looks to be well qualified to inquire into the dealings of Brian Mulroney and Karlheinz Schreiber.

And then along comes Kady. She compared the dates of Justice Oliphant's appointments to the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba, (first as a Justice and later as Associate Chief Justice) and notices this: (emphasis mine)

Oliphant was appointed a Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Manitoba, and later, Associate Chief Justice, by then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney

Peachy! Is there a picture of them together? (No. I'm not asking a rhetorical question.) Perhaps Justice Oliphant could open the inquiry with, "Nice bells, Brian."

Really. This is the stuff of books.

Thanks Kady.
