Martin had wanted the parliamentary committee to debate a motion to summon former Tory prime minister Brian Mulroney and German-Canadian businessman Karlheinz Schreiber to state their cases in advance of the probe into the corruption charges opens.
Ah...the Schreiber thing...this is actually quite amusing you know.
Schreiber is fighting extradition to germany for various crimes , weapons deals, etc, all of which relate to him lying his butt off at every opportunity. He will be happy to testify at this inquirey into the former prime minister... but only if the extradition is permanetly halted (Can you say "get out of jail free" ? )
The opposition want him to testify no matter what because they think his testimony will make the current government look bad. And if it doesn't , then they can rag on the government for getting this criminal scum bag off the hook.
If Schreiber says something that favors the government, he'll be acused of feeling thanks toward them for getting him off the hook in a bad situation.
If he says something against the government , he'll be acused of being a two faced liar who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him in the butt, and the government will probably ship him off to germany anyways.
If you ignore the deal and just ship him home, he'll be happy to testify, but you're guarenteed he'll say something or other to make the current government look as bad as his immagination can possibly dream up.
My vote ?
Let the opposition yap , and ship this criminal back home. You have spin control , use it. Let the scum bag fry and blame the opposition for trying to get him out of jail free. It will even out in the end.
