A "G" Day

Today is a "G" day, a good day with the release of the long-awaited Gomery Commission report. Many Canadians will agree with the conclusions arrived at by Justice Gomery. Some few will disagree and some of those that have been implicated in wrongdoing might be expected to take some form of legal action, among these, the golf ball man, Jean Chretien and the former ambassador to Denmark, the infamous and disgraced Alfonso Gagliano who was recalled or should I say fired by the Prime Minister.
What remains to be seen is the reaction of the three major parties in the House of Commons. The New Democratic Party could have been instrumental in bringing down the Liberal government but decided to support the Liberals is certain concessions were made relating to particular programs that the NDP wanted to see go through. Chances are that the NDP will continue with that support.
As the Prime Minister has been exonerated, the country is not faced with having its highest citizen coming under a cloud of mistrust and suspicion.
Mr. Justice Gomery should be commended for coming through with his report on time. This report reflects his assessment of the information which was garnered during the hearings. He heard and saw what many Canadians heard and saw and there can be little doubt that his conclusions will deviate little from what an average Canadian would come forward with.
