Martin knew of contract problems, committee=20 hears

CANADIAN=20 PRESS

OTTAWA - Paul Martin took a personal interest = as=20 finance minister in federal contracts that went to a = firm with=20 close political ties to him, says a disgruntled = Liberal=20 back-roomer.=20

Warren Kinsella, a former cabinet aide, told a = Commons=20 committee today that Martin had to know the Finance = Department=20 was making end runs around cabinet contracting = guidelines in=20 some of the work it awarded to Earnscliffe Strategy = Group in=20 the 1990s.=20

"In my opinion Mr. Martin was aware of the = situation," said=20 Kinsella, who served at the time as an aide to = then-public=20 works minister David Dingwall. "He knew of the = problems with=20 regard to contracts."=20

On one occasion, said Kinsella, Martin even tried = to phone=20 him at home to complain that a particular Earnscliffe = deal had=20 been blocked by political infighting.=20

"He was leaving messages . . . demanding to speak = to me,"=20 said Kinsella. "I did not return his calls, which I = think made=20 him madder."=20

Martin spokesman Scott Reid denied it.=20

"Warren Kinsella's only problem is that what he = says is not=20 true. Paul Martin never phoned Warren Kinsella to = complain=20 about contracting," Reid said.=20

Kinsella said the contract had been temporarily=20 sidetracked, on orders from the office of then-prime = minister=20 Jean Chr=E9tien, until "certain questions" about the = deal could=20 be answered.=20

He didn't elaborate, but opposition MPs were quick = to=20 pounce on the suggestion Martin had personally = intervened in=20 the dispute.=20

"More and more, there is implied knowledge about=20 contracting practices that were going on in his = department=20 while he was minister of finance," said Deputy = Conservative=20 Leader Peter MacKay.=20

But Liberal MP Shawn Murphy dismissed Kinsella's = claims as=20 sour grapes, noting that he has been a Martin = adversary for=20 years.=20

"We had three hours of venom," said Murphy. "I = would=20 challenge anyone in Canada to agree that he (Kinsella) = had any=20 credibility."=20

Kinsella said he blew the whistle in 1994 on the = fact that=20 Finance was awarding public opinion polling contracts = directly=20 to Earnscliffe, rather than going through the Public = Works=20 Department as it was supposed to do.=20

In a letter to Terrie O'Leary, then Martin's chief = of=20 staff, Kinsella complained that bidding rules were = flawed, too=20 much money was being spent and some of the work wasn't = necessary.=20

He also suggested Earnscliffe was getting the work = because=20 of its ``political connections."=20

Among the senior partners at the company was David = Herle,=20 O'Leary's longtime personal companion and himself a = key Martin=20 adviser.=20

Several other Martin confidants also worked at = Earnscliffe,=20 which was often jokingly referred to at the time as = Martin's=20 prime-minister's-office-in-waiting.=20

O'Leary insisted she had no decision-making power = in the=20 contracting process and adamantly denied she ever = intervened=20 to favour Earnscliffe.=20

The only goal of the Finance Department was to open = up the=20 contracting process to fresh bidders and new talent, = she=20 testified.=20

But that led to a bitter turf war with Kinsella and = Chuck=20 Guit=E9, the now-disgraced bureaucrat who ran the = federal=20 sponsorship program and also had a hand in polling = contracts.=20

"We wanted everybody who had a new idea to be able = to=20 compete," said O'Leary. "That was not the case under = Mr.=20 Guit=E9."=20

Herle, for his part, said he was proud of the work = he did=20 for Finance at Earnscliffe and claimed he never heard = anybody=20 but Kinsella complain about it.=20

"He's as strong a political adversary of Mr. Martin = and of=20 myself and of Ms. O'Leary as exists in this country," = said=20 Herle.=20

Kinsella, a staunch Chr=E9tien loyalist in the = long-running=20 Liberal leadership wars with Martin, insisted he = wasn't out to=20 settle old scores.=20

"I can assure you I did not wish to be here," he = told the=20 committee, which compelled him to attend through a = subpoena.=20

Kinsella also startled the hearing by claiming he = had=20 received a phone call, just before he testified, = warning him=20 that his old boss Dingwall might come under pressure = from the=20 Prime Minister's Office to "disavow" some of the = things he=20 planned to say.=20

"I took it to be intimidation," said Kinsella.=20

He wouldn't make the name of the caller public but = agreed=20 to give it privately to Conservative committee = chairman John=20 Williams.=20

"I'm taken aback," Williams later told reporters.=20 ``Intimidation of witnesses cannot be tolerated under = any=20 circumstances whatsoever.=20

"The committee, in my opinion, have to take it = seriously."=20

Martin spokesman Reid said the mystery call did not = come=20 from Martin's office: "No one from the PMO wants to = speak to=20 Warren Kinsella."=20

Commons law clerk Rob Walsh told MPs that a claim = of=20 intimidation, if substantiated, could give rise to a = citation=20 for contempt of Parliament.=20

Williams promised to pursue the matter and said he = expects=20 the name of the mystery caller to be made public "in = due=20 course."=20

The Earnscliffe polling contracts have long been a = public=20 relations problem for Martin, but he dodged questions = about=20 them when he appeared in February at the sponsorship = inquiry=20 headed by Justice John Gomery.=20

The judge ruled the deals didn't fall under his = mandate.=20

That prompted Bloc Quebecois MP Benoit Sauvageau to = press=20 the public accounts committee to take up the matter - = a=20 proposal readily adopted by other opposition MPs who = outnumber=20 the Liberals 7-5 on the panel.=20
