With the white noise of Liberal Party money dumps across the nation, not as much attention is being paid to the Chuck Guite testimony at the Gomery inquiry. However, what little news is trickling out hints that Guite's testimony is as explosive as that of Jean Brault.
So, watch for the Liberal mantra to "wait for Gomery" to intensify. This is crucial to their game plan.
If the Liberals can survive long enough for public rage to subside, and extend his government's life the full length of Gomery's mandate, he'll be in the clear - for Paul Martin is fully aware of the fact that Judge Gomery is prohibited from assigning blame under his terms of reference.
paragraph K;
The Commissioner be directed to perform his duties without expressing any conclusion or recommendation regarding the civil or criminal liability of any person or organization and to ensure that the conduct of the inquiry does not jeopardize any ongoing criminal investigation or criminal proceedings;
So, with the report effectively pre-sterilized and a national media overwhelmingly in his corner, Paul Martin is virtually assured of a report he can "take to the bank" when it comes to denying civil or criminal wrongdoing on the part of the Liberal party.
Jean Brault, Paul Coffin, Chuck Guite - it won't matter what they testify to, or if they implicate the highest elected officials in the land - Gomery cannot lay blame. Neat, eh?
G_d forbid anyone should say anything about it!

How can you have an" Agreement in Principal" with a party that has none?
Can someone please tell EKOS and the Star that the only political party in Canada that has made any deals is the Liberal party in the desperate attempt to cling to power. Damian Brooks makes an interesting point that Martin is so foolish that he made a deal with a party that cant keep him in power. A deal that has already impacted the value of our dollar and will end up costing Canadian taxpayers billions.
The Conservative Party has not made any deal with the BQ, Period. They are doing what we believe is in the best interest of the country and putting forward a non-confidence motion. If the BQ and the independents wish to vote with the Conservatives on this motion, so be it, but there have been no Agreements in Principal just a normal parliamentary process that a majority of the democratically elected MPs will vote to accept for what ever reasons they have.
I would say that given the opportunity the majority of Canadians including the supporters of the NDP would vote to say that we have lost confidence in Paul Martin and the Liberals and come this June we may very well have that chance.
I for one just cant wait for the Chuck Guite testimony next week!
