I Must Of Missed The Apology By The Liberals

I don't disagree that when there are abuses of power they should be brought to the attention of the voters but when reporting these abuses there should be full disclosure and similar expectations. But this is not happening just at the federal level.....have a forensic accountable look at how Toronto councillors spend their $53K office budget.

Stop the 'abuse,' says taxpayers' watchdog

OTTAWA -- Federal politicians need to stop "abusing" taxpayer money by using the House of Commons budget for partisan shenanigans, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says.

The Conservatives used money set aside for constituency mail-outs for attacks against Winnipeg Liberal MPs Anita Neville and Ray Simard.

The Liberals used the same budget to launch a mail-out campaign in Saskatchewan that attacked the Conservatives.

"This is a gross abuse of House of Commons resources," said Adam Taylor, spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

The Conservatives were unapologetic for their Winnipeg mail-out.

Calls to the Speaker's office were not returned yesterday.
