Clement told Huntsville mayor he'd help speed up G8 cheques

The G8 will turn out to be the Conservatives Adscam...

The NDP is accusing Treasury Board President Tony Clement of interfering with a review of G8 legacy fund spending in Huntsville and wants a parliamentary committee to investigate.

A series of emails obtained by the NDP show that Clement, Conservative MP for the Muskoka region where the G8 was held, agreed with the mayor of Huntsville that it was "unacceptable" for payments from Ottawa to the town be held up by bureaucrats.

The exchanges between Clement and Claude Doughty reveal a friendly relationship and also indicate that the federal government was set to help fund the G8 summit centre in Huntsville out of the G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund before the fund was announced in February 2009.
