E. K. William
Mackenzie King indicates in his diaries that Williams was ideally suited to act as legal adviser to the government because of his position as President of the Canadian Bar Association.  Williams not only recommended that the government form a royal commission to investigate Gouzenko's allegations (and, thus, circumventing the judicial process), but he later acted as lead legal advisor to the commission.  He served as President of the CBA for 1946-7 and was later appointed to the Supreme Court of Manitoba.
