Feds at Justice delay process on fraud cases

From the Canadian Press:

Integrated Market Enforcement Teams (IMETs) may have been undermined by the federal Justice Department.

[...]

Justice, which was handed $17 million for its participation, initially failed to deliver these key team members.

[...]

More than three years after it was announced, the IMET program has yet to lay charges in any of its high-profile investigations.

And earlier this month there were further indications of Justice Department staffing issues, in connection with an IMET probe of Royal Group Technologies, which involves Greg Sorbara, Ontario's former finance minister.

Sorbara's lawyer filed a court affidavit suggesting that two Justice Department officials had been pulled from the file and that the department "was no longer advising IMET" in Sorbara's case.

Well, well. Isn't that convenient that the feds, yet again, are frustrating another investigation into another corrupt politician.

I wonder what the feds are afraid of? Justice? In Canada? Whoever heard of such a concept in a democracy?
