Lilley: Here in Canada we have top officials, the PM and his most senior civil servant, admitting that they leaned on the attorney general to make sure a favoured company avoided prosecution and the government wants to act like it is just fine.
If Canada is a country based on the rule of law rather than the whims of men, then we cannot have the prime minister’s office letting off friends anymore than we can have them using the justice system to prosecute enemies.
It doesn’t matter if the attempt was successful, which in the SNC case it wasn’t, it matters that they tried.
