From the Gazette:
The pre-election mudslinging got messier yesterday as the New Democrats called on the RCMP to investigate whether someone in Finance Minister Ralph Goodale's office leaked advance details of his income trust announcement last week.
NDP finance critic Judy Wasylycia-Leis said she planned to send a letter tomorrow to the Mounties' Integrated Market Enforcement Team, asking them to investigate whether anyone from Goodale's office leaked details of his dividend tax credit increase to Bay St., allowing some to profit from the advance knowledge.
When the issue was put to Goodale on Friday by reporters, he issued a stern denial, calling any suggestion of a leak "absolutely untrue, a complete falsehood."
