LU Professor Speaks Out About Duffy Charges

Lawyers for Mike Duffy say their client is looking forward to defending himself, now that the RCMP have laid 31 charges against the suspended senator.
Those charges include fraud and bribery in connection with the senate expense scandal.
Lakehead University political science professor Laure Paquette says this won’t be good for Prime Minister Stephen Harper a year before we go to the polls.
On the positive side, Paquette says it vindicates the Conservatives somewhat in how swiftly they’ve acted to throw out Duffy.
