Wright's memo shows that the Prime Minister’s Office has strict control over what happens in the House of Commons, and rips in to LeBreton for not exercising the same control over the Tories in the Senate.

“Consistently, Senator LeBreton does not embrace the work of your office to bring communication and direction with the Senate closer to the model that we have with the House Leader and Chief Government Whip.”
