PM won't punish Shory over fraud investigation

Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he won't take any action against one of his Calgary MPs who has been named in a Bank of Montreal civil lawsuit over what the bank alleges was a massive mortgage fraud.

On Thursday, the RCMP and Calgary police announced they had launched a joint criminal investigation into the alleged mortgage scam and that as part of that investigation they would be speaking to the people named in the suit but not only them.

Nothing in the bank's statement of claim has been proven in court.

"The member in question is not, to our knowledge, accused of any criminal wrongdoing," Harper told reporters on Friday during a visit to Quebec. "He is involved in … a civil dispute over a private matter."

So where are the allegations? Guess there are none.
Civiln cases are not as important as allegations!

So Harper is ok with it. Conservatives don't seem to get worked up about mundane things like fraud, at least when their people are accused of it. Consider the Mulroney affair.
