If MPs have been dishonest, there should be consequences

No question about that, none whatsoever. These are the people who are the lawmakers in our country and we look up to them to be above all the thievery we see around us and to be fair and honest.

Why are some MPs having "secret spending clubs" in Ontario?  Now we have this scandal in Nova Scotia. Very soon, something similar is bound to happen in Ontario and in Ontario it will be explosive.

In a report released Tuesday, auditor general Jacques Lapointe doesn't name names or provide any other details about the five cases in an expense scandal that has dominated the province's political scene for months.

"Based on the results of my investigation, I believe four former members and one current member of the house of assembly may have committed illegal acts related to their constituency expense claims," Lapointe said in a two-page letter to Charlie Parker, the Speaker of the legislature.

"Due to the serious nature of my findings, I determined it would not be appropriate for my office to continue to do additional work in regard to these specific individuals. Accordingly, we referred our investigation files for these five individuals to the RCMP for criminal investigation."....
