Sir: I have read recently that our Auditor General Michael Ferguson spent $23.6 million auditing the expense accounts of our Senate. His findings were that approximately $1 million was charged to the Canadian taxpayer in wrongful claims.
It seems to me if we could get the Senate to agree, collectively, that as honorable men and women, they will not steal anymore, and we as taxpayers agree not to audit them, in the course of the next decade taxpayers would save about $13 million.
Win, win for everyone. Just food for thought.
