We may yet get to the bottom of NAFTA-gate:

The federal government’s top civil servant has pledged to make public the results of an investigation into Canadian leaks that damaged the presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Barack Obama.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper handed responsibility for an internal inquiry to Kevin Lynch, the Clerk of the Privy Council, after it emerged that his chief of staff, Ian Brodie, sparked the so-called “NAFTA-gate” affair in a conversation with reporters from CTV News.

Mr. Lynch pledged in a letter to Liberal MP Navdeep Bains that the results of the internal probe will be made public, and will include the “verbal” leaks – not only the later leak of a diplomatic memo.

No indication on when such a report might be released. Presumably before the U.S. election?
