MILLBANK ON MOORE - DECISION BY MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE
I have a supplementary question. Did the minister deliberately make herself absent to put herself at arm’s length from the transaction? Ms A.J.G. MacTIERNAN

AnswerView source ↗

I must confess that I have about a week’s holiday a year. I know that it is probably excessive and that I should be on the job 52 weeks a year. However, I had a week off and Minister McRae acted in my place.
