The clerk bewailed the things said about him on the web ‘vomitorium.’ Now a respected international organization has added to them
Political scandals bring to light figures who are largely unknown to the wider public. The SNC-Lavalin affair has done such for the clerk of the Privy Council, Canada’s most senior bureaucrat, Michael Wernick.
Wernick thought all the foul things said about him constituted an “attempt to intimidate a witness.” One hopes for the steadiness of our government that the chief adviser to the prime minister is not so easily intimidated. Mere mortals like thee and me likely nodded off around section 715.31 and didn’t get around to the prohibition on considering the national economic interest or the status of the company involved. It is imaginable that the prime minister might not have read it either, and not realized that asking the attorney general to consider the impact on jobs — the national economic interest — was contrary to the plain meaning of the law.
