All chauffeurs should be treated as potential spies and gossips, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney secretly warned cabinet members, according to newly declassified records from 1987.

“Talking in the presence of chauffeurs was a deplorable but common mistake as these persons were notoriously unreliable gossips,” Mr. Mulroney said, according to minutes from a March 19, 1987 meeting.
