Well the NDP press conference is over, and I don’t think I can say that it was very successful for them. They started off by saying the the whole committee is a sham. Then they said that Iacobucci should not be on the committee because he has a conflict of interest because he is a former judge for Justice Ministry. They are implying that he could potentially be bribed by the Government. This is a pretty ridiculous claim; in my opinion he is just as likely to be bribed by the Government as anyone else on the committee. His former employment with the Government has nothing to do with him being more susceptible to bribes. One reporter pointed out that had the NDP not walked out of the meeting, they would have had a say in the appointment of members to the committee, and could have in fact vetoed Iacobucci.
