UPDATE: Circling the wagons... again
All calls to government ministries seeking comment on Saturday were referred to Craig Sumi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Government Services. He would not say how many employees are involved or whether any of them have been temporarily suspended during the investigation.Well... that's a relief.
Mr. Sumi, would say only that "a few ministries" are part of the investigation.
It's not all of them, right Craig?
