Well, a very obvious reason is that it would prejudice any civil action 
or criminal charges that might arise from information/evidence given to 
the inquiry. It wouldn't take a very smart lawyer to have such a case 
thrown out of court.

Mulroney screwed up. However his taking of money from Schrieber for 
possibly doing some lobbying for companies represented by Schrieber 
doesn't rate when compared to the Liberals' theft of money from
