Former prime minister Brian Mulroney is on the stand again today at the Oliphant Commission, an inquiry into certain business dealings of Karlheinz Schreiber and Mulroney. It is Mulroney's fifth day on the stand and, we are told, his last.
Commission counsel Richard Wolson will continue his cross-examination this morning. Other lawyers here will then get a crack at him, if they so choose. Schreiber's lawyer will certainly be among them but it's not yet been announced if that lawyer, Richard Auger, will proceed. That's because Auger's client — the aforementioned Karlheinz had emergency gall bladder last Tuesday night. As of Friday at noon, Auger had not yet had a chance to confer with his client. If he has had that chance over the weekend, expect him to follow Wolson.
