Brian Mulroney: The payments and the taxman

Karlheinz Schreiber paid the former prime minister $300,000 in cash in three instalments in 1993 and 1994. But Mr. Mulroney did not declare the money at tax time.


Mulroney's six-year tax gap

In four-hour session with Commons ethics committee, former PM acknowledges receiving cash from Schreiber, offers explanation for delay in reporting it, attacks deal-maker's credibility and changes tune on public inquiry.

Editorials & Opinions

Analysis: Time for committee to get serious

William Kaplan: MPs can still get more answers on Mulroney

Globe editorial: The reason for this inquiry

In slowing the inquiry, perhaps until after an election, the Prime Minister runs the risk of looking like a player himself, and not necessarily a disinterested one

Jeffrey Simpson: Narrow inquiry not enough

An inquiry into the whole of the Mulroney-Schreiber relationship would be long, expensive and perhaps inconclusive

William Kaplan: What's left? Try this

Millions in 'grease money' remain unaccounted for.

Globe editorial: What he said, and didn't say

Yesterday's hearing shows MPs again were woefully out of their depth when probing the Mulroney-Schreiber affair.

Lawrence Martin: The show ain't over yet

He gave a bravura performance but questions linger

Christie Blatchford: His bewildering story

This was no explanation. Neither was it a mea culpa.

Margaret Wente: Guilty of a lot but …

All these are faults. Big faults. But are they crimes? Nope.

Rick Salutin: Mulroney aggravates us still

No other leader has come close to the deep ongoing animosity he generates.
