The NDP wants the names of "any and all individuals" involved in the Conservative decision to record and distribute copies of a New Democrat caucus meeting, and it is threatening legal action to get them.

A letter from NDP counsel presses the Conservatives for the information and strongly suggests litigation will follow unless the names are forthcoming.

"Our client will, if necessary, take appropriate measures to protect its interests," says the Dec. 23 letter from lawyer Steven Barrett to Arthur Hamilton, counsel retained by the Conservatives.

"While I appreciate that your client has been occupied with a number of matters, I am surprised that I have not heard back from you," adds Barrett's letter on behalf of the NDP, obtained by the Canadian Press.

You just forgot to close the link using the forward slash-the last bracket should be [/url] everything else is fine.

Where will this story go?  My guess is it will die with the RCMP.

I thought duncan, (vancouver island MP) said that he did the recording.

He said he got a mistaken invite to listen in so probably he contacted head office.

I think that was the story anyway. 

Head office have many government agencys at their beck and call  who could tap in to it. 

 They probably had better sound than Leyton did!

Gimme a call when you want the tumbrils, otherwise I have no time for an endeavor that will only end up enriching lawyers.
