Another Liberal Scandal Exposed
04 October 2006
Liberals still don't get it, after the sponsorship scandal, the Gomery Commission and a stinging electoral backlash against Liberal corruption, it looks like the Liberals still haven’t learned a thing. The Public Service Commission of Canada has revealed that Liberal ministerial aides were given phantom public service jobs in the dying hours of the Liberal regime after the election but before Canada’s New Government was sworn in.
Canadians voted for a government that would clean up Ottawa in the wake of the corruption of the Liberal sponsorship scandal. And yet, even after the Liberals were thrown out of office in January, they continued to use tax dollars to reward their political friends.
Now the Liberal dominated Senate is holding up the passage of tough new accountability laws. Canadians have a right to know, why?
Ordinary Canadians cannot be faulted this week for wondering what, exactly, it will take for the Liberal Party of Canada to recognize that families and taxpayers want accountability and good, clean government from Ottawa.
This week’s release of the Public Service Commission of Canada’s Annual Report highlighted yet another tale of Liberal treachery at the taxpayer trough. In this latest display of arrogance, newly-defeated ministers of the previous Liberal government used their clout to create phantom jobs in the public service for their trusted aides, allowing them to bypass a wait list.
In other words, the Liberals once again abused their power to give preferential treatment to their friends – at the expense of the Canadian taxpayer.
Thankfully, the Public Service Commission put an end to the practice and withdrew the two positions in question. Now if only someone could get the Liberal Senate to take similar action on accountability.
Elected on a promise to clean up Ottawa, Canada’s New Government moved quickly to pass the Federal Accountability Act, the toughest anti-corruption measure in Canadian history.
