It seems only the best will do for International Development Minister Bev Oda, who refused to stay at one five-star hotel in London, England, last year and rebooked at a swanky establishment for more than double the cost. (CP)
Savoy Hotel was twice as expensive as 5 star hotel where she had the initial reservation. It is only taxpayers’ money, eh!
Harper and his minister have gone wild when spending taxpayers’ dollars.

I read on CBC that she has paid the difference between the two hotel rooms and stood up on the Commons to apologize. She has not said anything about the $1000/day limo she needed due to the change in her accommodations.
ReplyDeleteThis speaks volumes about Queen Bev doesn't it? Ethics are the things we do when no one is looking, or in her case when she *thought* no one was looking!
You know in Saskatchewan a bunch of former PC's went to jail in the early 1990's for misappropriation of their expense allowance while they were in office. Just saying.
