Mike Duffy: Terrence O'Sullivan

Terrence O'Sullivan: The law is crystal clear, Terrence O'Sullivan said: the time Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau will spend under suspension must count toward the six years of service they need to qualify for a generous pension, according to CTV. "It's not a little technicality," he told The Canadian Press, referring to government Senate leader Claude Carignan's characterization of the pension issue and The suspensions of three senators will be invalidated if the government retroactively changes the law to preclude them from the parliamentary pension plan, Pamela Wallin's lawyer said Friday. That was the law when senators voted Tuesday to suspend the trio without pay for up to two years. Changing it after the fact would mean senators did not make an informed decision about the fate of their outcast colleagues, O'Sullivan said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
