CP: Gomery readies new blast at Tories for sponsorship response

[tuvor]

OTTAWA — John Gomery is returning to Ottawa, with some pointed questions about why the current Conservative government has ignored most of the reforms he recommended after the Liberal-inspired sponsorship scandal.

The now-retired judge, who spent two years delving into the sponsorship affair, will be the star witness Thursday at the House of Commons committee on government operations.

"It seemed perfectly logical to invite (him) to come and lay out his concerns," said New Democrat MP Charlie Angus, who won all-party support for his proposal to hear from Gomery.

It's not clear, however, whether the session will be a one-time chance for Gomery to trumpet his views, or the start of a wider-ranging study of how to revamp the way Ottawa works.

1. You were a means to an end, Gomery

The Conservatives never gave a hoot about ethics.
