Meanwhile, CTV reported Tuesday night that the third party who uncovered the allegations that led Mr. Harper to drop Helena Guergis from the caucus is a private investigator. Police sources say the licensed private eye contacted a Conservative Party lawyer in Toronto, and expressed concern about a potential threat of blackmail arising from allegations about the purchase and use of drugs.
It hasn't been confirmed who may have bought or used the drugs, CTV said, or who the target of blackmail was. When the party lawyer received the information, CTV reported, he immediately alerted the Prime Minister.
