Gerstein, a senior Conservative senator in charge of the Conservative Fund of Canada, a party fund, is also named in the document as having been in the know about the deal. Gerstein did not respond to requests for comment.

Woodcock joined the prime minister’s office in December 2010 as an issues manager after spending a year as director of issues management at Treasury Board Secretariat, according to his LinkedIn page. That means he would have arrived around the same time as Wright, who joined Harper’s office in November 2010 and became chief in January 2011.

Woodcock became PMO director of issues management in July 2011, according to his LinkedIn page. In that role, Woodcock is in charge of coming up with solutions and troubleshooting politically sensitive issues that may arise.

Van Hemmen was Wright’s personal assistant and reported directly to him. He remains executive assistant to current chief of staff Ray Novak, the longtime Harper adviser who replaced Wright after he resigned.

The RCMP document says that Harper was not aware of the “arrangement” between Duffy and Wright.

“If what the prime minister is saying is true that this all went on under his nose and nobody told him … then what’s he going to do about it?” Angus said. “Right now, he seems to be very lackadaisical about the fact that we’re talking about payoffs, cover-up and potential fraud.”

Harper has denied any knowledge of the deal. On the weekend, he told a crowd in Calgary that he was answering to the best of his knowledge when on June 5 he told the House of Commons that Wright didn’t tell anyone in the PMO about the secret deal with Duffy.
