OTTAWA — The RCMP interviewed Jack Layton's chief of staff and other NDP aides this week in response to the party's complaint that Conservatives secretly recorded one of their private caucus meetings last fall.
Two Mounties visited NDP headquarters in Ottawa on Monday to interview employees, including chief of staff Anne McGrath, who had written to RCMP commissioner William Elliott requesting an investigation.
