OTTAWA AND TORONTO — A former Liberal minister and a former Conservative minister have contradicted Brian Mulroney’s description of events surrounding his 1994 cash payment from lobbyist Karlheinz Schreiber at a New York hotel.
The evidence from Allan MacEachen and Elmer MacKay added to the long list of contradictions that hound the former prime minister, who has yet to commit to a second appearance before the House ethics committee on Thursday.
Mr. Mulroney is expected to announce his decision Tuesday or Wednesday. Meanwhile, his spokesmen released arguments Monday against the eventual creation of a “costly” public inquiry into his dealings with Mr. Schreiber.
