8月12号，在Mike Duffy刑事审讯中出现的证据清楚显示，哈珀必须立即开除保守党竞选团队高级幕僚Marjory LeBreton，目前他正担任哈珀竞选连任的高级顾问。
法庭电邮证据表明，LeBreton是对公众掩盖达菲滥用纳税人金钱细节的核心人员。事实上，Nigel Wright和当时的参议员Marjory LeBreton批准了一项秘密计划，让达菲费用问题的处理有别于其他参议员。且特别说明是“为了保护达菲参议员。”
Nigel Wright如何回应此项计划？“这行得通。”参议员Marjory LeBreton呢？“我同意Nigel的意见。我认为这能让我们达成目标。”
“完全不应该让Marjory LeBreton继续在竞选中给总理意见。”联邦自由党Beauséjour选区候选人Dominic LeBlanc表示，“加拿大人已经厌倦哈珀虚伪、分裂的政治作风。加拿大人期望的不只是不一样的政府，而是更好的政府。”在上周的党领辩论，哈珀对有关Wright-Duffy丑闻坏：“当坏的行动出现时，领袖的角色是要承担责任，并向专人问责。”哈珀是时候履行自己的说法，把Marjory LeBreton从保守党竞选团队中开除。
Harper must remove Marjory LeBreton from Conservative campaign
Evidence today at Mike Duffy’s criminal trial makes clear that senior Harper insider Marjory LeBreton must immediately be removed from the Conservative election campaign.
Email evidence at court reveals that LeBreton was central in the scheme to obscure the public’s knowledge of details on how Mike Duffy was abusing taxpayer money.
In fact, Nigel Wright and then Senator Marjory LeBreton approved a secret plan so that Mike Duffy’s expenses would be treated differently from every other Senator. Specifically “in order to protect Senator Duffy.”
How did Nigel Wright respond to the scheme? “This works.”
And Senator Marjory LeBreton? “I agree with Nigel’s comments. I think this will get us to where we want to go.”
“It is entirely inappropriate that Marjory LeBreton continue advising the Prime Minister on his campaign,” said Liberal candidate for Beauséjour, Dominic LeBlanc. “Canadians are tired of Harper’s cynical, divisive politics. Canadians want not only a different government, but a better government.”
LeBreton, pictured in a photo taken last week at Conservative campaign headquarters, is now acting as senior advisor on Stephen Harper’s re-election campaign.
In last week’s leaders’ debate, Harper said about the Wright-Duffy scandal: “When bad actions arise, the role of the leader is to take responsibility and hold people accountable.”
It is time for Harper to follow his own advice and remove Marjory LeBreton from the Conservative campaign.
