Re: 鈥淎 few basic points about prosecutors鈥� decision-making,鈥� comment, March 9.
This commentary should have been titled: 鈥淏rought to you by the Liberal Party of sa国际传媒.鈥�
鈥淭he law is clear that an attorney general is independent and cannot be directed by anyone.鈥� Fair enough. But 鈥渉aving any decision questioned, even aggressively and repeatedly so鈥� is harassment and contradicts the first statement.
If 鈥渢he first minister ultimately disagrees with a key decision made, it must be open to him to replace even an attorney general. 鈥� This is the rule of law.鈥�
The law is obviously an ass. Do we want to descend into a Trumpian world where top officials face a revolving door if they don鈥檛 agree with the Boss, and justice officials are leaned on to give the 鈥渞ight鈥� answer?
This is not SNC-Lavalin鈥檚 first offence. It has a long history of corruption, bribery and other illegal offences. Let the court proceedings play out, and if the company is found guilty, pay the piper. Then justice will be truly served.
