Still We Wait

Canadians found out more than a week ago that the Canadian prime minister's chief of staff apparently cut a $90,000 cheque for a Canadian senator who had been inappropriately charging the taxpayers for questionable benefits and expenses. 

Finally the Chief of Staff is gone; the senator is out of the caucus; the Prime Minister is conveniently out of the country; the original expenses case has been transferred back to same Senate committee that truncated the earlier process.  The Parliamentary Ethics Commissioner is investigating, but has no responsibility for the Senate

There remains no evidence at all that anyone -- including the Prime Minister -- in the Harper Government is urgently seeking or disclosing the full facts.   We do not need investigations of most of this; we simply need the government to start coming clean, rather than constantly attempting to cast aspersions on everyone else in their view.
