Brault said he slipped the first $50,000 to Morselli at a spaghetti dinner, and never got around to paying the second instalment before the sponsorship scandal erupted in 2002.

Can anybody refresh my memory? How was this scandal first brought to light? So much stuff comes back to a google query that it's hard to get down to the origin. Was it revealed by a newspaper investigation? Testimony that came out during a trial of an unrelated matter? Disclosed by a government investigation or official? By a whistleblower? Or something else?

It started with a report tabled by our federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser....Her report, (2002 I think) said the Liberals had 'broken every rule in the book"
