Harper Gave A Much Different Answer On 'Good To Go' In 2013

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper may face more questions on the campaign trail this week about what was meant by "good to go."

Harper's former chief of staff Nigel Wright — who will be taking the stand Wednesday in Mike Duffy's criminal trial — suggested in emails in 2013 that he had received the prime minister's approval to resolve Duffy's expense issues and help sweep the embarrassing political matter under the rug.

While campaigning in Ottawa on Sunday, Harper denied telling Wright that he was ever "good to go" with anything.
"The words you are quoting are not my words," Harper said. "They are somebody else's. I have said repeatedly, and I think the facts are clear, I did not know about — that Mr. Wright had [given] payment to Mr. Duffy. As soon as I learned that, I made that public. Mr. Wright has been clear about that and the very document you are quoting also makes that clear. The RCMP investigated and said that is the case."
