which granted him another delay. Public inquiry On 31 October 2007, the CBC Television show The Fifth Estate broadcast a one-hour program on the Schreiber – Mulroney situation. The program was titled Brian Mulroney: The Unauthorized Chapter. The same day the Globe and Mail published a feature article on the relationship between Karlheinz Schreiber and Brian Mulroney; the stories revealed, for the first time, that Brian Mulroney had made a voluntary disclosure to Revenue Canada years after he had received envelopes of cash from Karlheinz Schreiber. The Globe and Mail and CBC reporters, Greg McArthur and Harvey Cashore, had teamed up to conduct research together, each organization maintaining editorial control over their own stories. Then, in the week of 5 November 2007, Schreiber, assisted by his lawyer Richard Anka, filed an affidavit in Ontario Superior Court, related to his suit against Brian Mulroney filed in March; it contained several explosive allegations against Mulroney. Among Schreiber's claims was that he had met with Mulroney to discuss business a few days before the then-prime minister stepped down in June 1993, contradicting Mulroney's claim made during his libel suit.

Harper also announced that federal Conservative caucus members were to have nothing to do with Mulroney while the investigative process unfolded, and denied any personal dealings with Schreiber. The Globe and Mail, which had published a large front-page picture on 9 November 2007 showing Mulroney meeting with Schreiber in the prime minister's office (accompanied by two of Mulroney's senior staff members), continued its extensive coverage on 10 November, and other Canadian media outlets also took up the story. On 13 November 2007, after Mulroney requested a public inquiry, Prime Minister Harper announced that a full public inquiry would take place. The day after, on 14 November 2007, a report on CBC.ca quoted expert opinion saying that Schreiber's potential extradition to Germany could be delayed further by the timing of the public inquiry.
