One of two RCMP ghost guarding Mulroney as he went home for lunch banged into the back of his armored limousine during a chain of bizarre events involving zealous police, a heated Liberal MP and high-flying prime minister. It all started shortly after Liberal Don Boudria jumped on a Parliament Hill shuttle bus at noon for the brief trip from his office in the Confederation Building to the House of Commons in the Hill's Centre Block. He said later he had barely taken his seat be- fore an RCMP car, lights flashing, pulled in front of the shuttle bus to block a road leading up the Hill. The Liberal MP con fronted the Mountie driver, who explained she BRIAN MULRONEY ... receives jolt was keeping the road clear for Mulroney's approach ing limousine. Boudria said he tangled with the officer, arguing that she was inter fering with his right as an MP to go about his busi ness on the Hill. Mulroney's car, with un marked Mountie cars in front and behind, soon passed, and the uniformed Mountie zealously jumped into her car to follow. But when the Mulroney entourage stopped for a red light, the flustered of- ficer who had stopped Boudria’s bus did not. “She just banged into the last one and the last one banged into the lim- ousine,” Boudria said later. later. Maintaining that Mul- roney security agents had interfered with his work on the hill, the MP for the Eastern Ontario riding of Glengarry-Prescott- Rus- sell vowed to raise the issue in the Commons. “This prime ministerial nonsense, going from the way we traditionally have things to Mulroney think- ing he is a head of state and a president, to the point where he is racing around with a bunch of ghost cars and lights flashing around the Hill.” An RCMP spokesman, later confirming the acci- dent, said there was no damage to any of the cars or the prime minister. summer reading program.
