Boyle Clears Himself Over Script Case in Ontario Parliament
In Edmonton March 29, J R Boyle Opposition leader in the Alberta legislature made a supplementary statement denying knowledge or consent to a Crown prosecution amendment. He asserted the deputy attorney general and Crown prosecutor acted without approval, and that instructions to proceed with the trial were given by a predecessor. He criticized misinterpretation of the Criminal Code amendment and defended his role in appointing Hugh C McDonald, KC, to prosecute. The incident sparked debate as the house continued with business including a Church Union Bill clause and the schedule for third reading as the session nears close.
