Toronto Star: Kenney accused of misleading the Commons

Memo cited by Tory MP states opposite of what he claims
Furor over possible privacy in access-to-information cases

OTTAWA—Jason Kenney, the Conservative government's attack dog, now finds himself under ethical attack — accused of fabricating the truth just to lash out at the opposition Liberals.

"It's just breathtaking," Liberal House Leader Ralph Goodale said yesterday. The opposition wants Kenney's head. "He deliberately misled the House of Commons and he should resign."

The controversy is almost an arcane one, revolving around technical aspects of Canada's access-to-information law and the complex web of daily, intergovernmental emails among bureaucrats and political aides.

But the ongoing furor is being fuelled by the big principles being churned up: privacy, the public's right to scrutinize the government and now, in light of Kenney's attack stance in the Commons this week, truth and lies in the partisan fray.
