In the hopes that @kinsellawarren is in good faith I’ll try and answer this.

First - it wasn’t secret. There was an OIC and a Customs Notice during the writ - even before early voting. How do I know? /1 Because we blogged about it on April 17:

So I didn't think I'd have to do this, but because an MP is tweeting out nonsense that they should, or reasonably should, know is both wrong and inflammatory for partisan gain, I have no choice.

The "Liberal Government" isn't taking the Speaker to court for "doing his job". /1 The AG's office (which is independent from the whims of the PMO/GiC) is acting under a statutory requirement of the Canada Evidence Act ("CEA").
