And the Beat Goes On.

http://www.vigile.net/Operation-Diligence-la-commission This article from La Presse by KATHLEEN LÉVESQUE explains how a police wiretap operation around 2007 called operation Diligence was used by the Charbonneau Commission. Some of the wiretaps were used last week to convince the contractor Giuseppe (Joe) Borsellino, owner of Garnier Construction to testify about what he knew. The wiretaps led Diligence to investigate former Liberal cabinet minister Tony Tomassi, Tony Accurso, the former treasurer of the FTQ Construction union, Brandone Eddy, associated with the former Liberal Premier Jean Charest. Shortly after a meeting of Eddy and Charest, the police were ordered to end investigations of the whole matter according to a CBC report. The Commission questioned Borsellino, about Tony Accurso's attempts to influence investment decisions of the FTQ Investment Fund, as well as contractor negotiations with the former director general of the FTQ Construction Union, Jocelyn Dupuis, who used his inside knowledge of the FTQ to try to arrange certain labour agreements. The Commission is supposedly politically independant but when push comes to shove, when politicians, developers, unions, contractors, investement funds, law firms, engineering firms, banks and Caisse Populaires, and finally several police forces are all being seriously looked at, are we going to ever discover the whole story? Especially when Mr. Charest named Louis Dionne and Yves Paradis , previously members of the Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales, DPCP, as judges in 2011, possibly to prevent them from testifying at the Commission.
