Well MP Brison's smearing of the National Citizens Coalition and Stephen Harper didn't even last 24 hours. Here is the latest from Gerry Nichols' blog. (h/t Nealenews)
Dear Mr. Nicholls:
Thank you for your letter dated today concerning my statement regardingthe NCC.
I wish to acknowledge that my statement was factually incorrect in two ways:
* I was in error to say that the NCC was charged six timeswith violations of the Elections Act.
* It was premature to say that there was a contravention ofthe Lobbyist Registration Act. In order to resolve and clarify thenature of these activities, I have asked the Registrar of Lobbyists toinvestigate. I was provided with incorrect information, but I accept responsibility for my statements. I regret my errors, and I withdraw those statements categorically.
Please accept my apology.
Sincerely,
Scott Brison

You can also see the donors to Stephen Harper's leadership campaign here. According to an 'Nonemous' commenter it has been up for months.
