The RCMP won’t release details of an internal report into an incident last month that saw paramedics called to 24 Sussex Drive to tend to a drunken 18-year-old woman the same night Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s son Ben held an 18th-birthday pool party.

Using access to information law, the Citizen requested a copy of the guest list as well as of any internal communication by the RCMP related to the incident.

However, although 16 pages of emails and guest list were given to the newspaper, almost all of the information in them was blacked out for security or privacy reasons, including a copy of the RCMP incident report from that night.

The guest log for the prime minister’s official residence shows that at least 18 people were admitted to 24 Sussex Drive as guests the day of the apparent pool party, April 19, and more than 30 people were admitted the following day.

The names of the guests, and their arrival-and-departure times, are redacted, so it’s impossible to know how many people may have been present for the pool party and at what times, or whether other guests were at the house for other reasons on either April 19 or April 20.
