Reply #6: Defying Harper, MacKay met with Mulroney

[CHIMO]

HALIFAX — Defence Minister Peter MacKay says he has spoken with Brian Mulroney recently, despite a directive from Stephen Harper not to have any contact with the former prime minister.

Mr. MacKay says he saw Mulroney at an all-star hockey game in Montreal in February and chatted with him for a couple of minutes.

He didn't reveal what the two longtime friends discussed, but said that was the last time they communicated.

It's not clear whether such an encounter would violate an edict from the Prime Minister that directed government members not to have any contact with Mr. Mulroney.

Clear to me. It violates the "word". Plain and simple. Now NATO wouldn't have him. Wonder where he will be headed next. Perhaps Harper will throw his support to a green candidate in MacKay's riding in the next election.
