Duff Conacher, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa who teaches on ethics in government, said the Tory meetings with KPMG, while it was being pursued by the government, could raise questions of an appearance of a conflict of interest.

Conacher said the meetings may lead to speculation about what is happening behind closed doors "because anyone who looks at it from the outside says, 'Hey, wait a second, this case hasn't been pursued aggressively. I wonder why?'

Digusting, but just the usual.
