Top public servant offers to explain redactions to WE Charity documents

Ian Shugart, clerk of the Privy Council, made the offer Tuesday in a letter to the House of Commons finance committee.

The committee had demanded that the documents be turned over without redactions and that it be left to the parliamentary law clerk, Philippe Dufresne, to decide whether anything needed to be blacked out to maintain personal privacy or cabinet confidences. However, Dufresne told the committee that it was not up to the public servants to decide what to redact.

Shugart's offer to testify could potentially break the impasse that has paralyzed the finance committee for weeks now as Liberals filibuster opposition attempts to reopen investigations into the WE Charity affair.

There is a clear set of rules for redaction. If the PCs need them explained they are in over their heads!

Transparency...? More broken Trudeau promises

Judging by the thumbnail, I'd say this is the Canadian version of John Bolton.

Trudeau lacks transparency. The Top public servant may fear for his job if he doesn't support Trudeau.

Nah, we’d rather just see the unredacted documents.

Anyone who would trust that guy needs their head examined.
