   Now, whose ass is Harper & Co trying to cover?   And the Public Sector   
   Integrity Commissioner is supposed to be an INDEPENDENT of government office.

   Government wants integrity czar’s probe of alleged RCMP wrongdoing tossed out   
      
      
   OTTAWA — The Conservative government is trying to quash a finding of the   
   federal integrity commissioner concerning alleged wrongdoing within the RCMP.   
      
   In a notice of application, the Government is asking the Federal Court to set   
   aside an Oct. 31 decision of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner’s   
   office.   
      
   The notice says the commissioner’s office began investigating in November   
   2013   
   following a disclosure from a whistleblower.   
      
   There is little other public information about the case, and details of the   
   purported offence remain a mystery.   
      
   In the court filing, the government argues the integrity commissioner’s   
   decision — which remains under wraps — should be tossed out because the   
   matter   
   is already being dealt with under another, unspecified parliamentary provision.   
      
   Failing this, the government contends, the integrity commissioner violated   
   procedural fairness by inadequately explaining the substance of the alleged   
   wrongdoing, relying upon evidence not fully disclosed to the RCMP, and not   
   permitting the Mounties to submit further relevant evidence to the   
   commissioner.   
      
   It also argues the commissioner failed to notify all parties who may be   
   adversely affected by the investigation.   
      
   Finally, the government says the commissioner made a legal mistake by basing   
   his decision on an “erroneous finding of fact.”   
      
        The government has asked the integrity commissioner to disclose:   
      
        — All documents considered by the commissioner’s investigators during   
   the   
   almost year-long probe;   
      
        — All notes from interviews;   
      
        — Any material obtained from interviewees or subject matter experts.
