This was reported by Neal Hall in the Sun, March 12, 2008.
"He reminded the judge about an e-mail from 2004 to Kevin Mahoney, then vice-president of BC Rail, from another executive, asking: “Why are we paying this guy?” and that the response was that Kinsella was a “backroom Liberal.”
McCullough said that at the time of the e-mail exchange between the BC Rail executives, there was an audit being done at BC Rail and questions were being asked about the payments made to Kinsella and his company.
The Kinsella matter arose over two days of question period at the legislature in Victoria this week, when the NDP repeatedly asked why BC Rail paid Kinsella $297,000 over three years from 2002 through 2004."
Hi Paul
The court schedule is usually on line at 6AM dailyt. However sometimes it gets more pages around 11AM.
Either way it might get interesting sometime tomorrow
The Basi group are in court Thursday 2 PM. posted at 06:03 this morning. lets hope we learn something today
Mr. Holman's chronology sure is most interesting.
For more than just the time-line....
And I'm talking, specifically, about the gamut of 'corporations' and 'groups' involved.
