. Angers in dismissing
the Mercier government promises to
wreck the Federal governmental Ottawa

works, accusing the boodle investigation
that drove Sir Hector Langevin and
Thomas McGreevey out of public life, he
was aided and abetted by Sir Hector's
colleague and apparent friend, but his

claims to be able to prove that the Fed
eral government received 500,000 with
which to run their elections.
