It is not $42m either but you are getting closer to the truth...once you give credit for the cash recovered and the on-going litigation for even more recovery you will see a much smaller amoount outstanding than $42M.<BR/><BR/>Adscam fraud was not perpetuated by the LPC. It was a combination of poor oversight and abuse of discretion by the Chretien PMO, and key lapses in ovesight by some senior members of the bureaucracy and the absolute dishonesty of some key individual Montreal based party volunteers action without party approval or knowledge and the unscrupulous ethics of some Quebec based businessmen...many of whom are now in jail. <BR/><BR/>Read Gomery and stop your unfounded partisan posturing. Stick to the facts...and just the facts eric - the world is complex enough without such unfounded extrapolations beyond the known.<BR/><BR/>I will not accuse you of spin on this comment because it is clearly a posturing based defensive Conservative partisanship - but it is tempting to frame you in those terms based on this comment.kenchapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11384045981190810115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-15885458306321508852007-11-11T11:58:00.000-07:002007-11-11T11:58:00.000-07:00I hope Harper calls for an inquiry into why tehe $...I hope Harper calls for an inquiry into why tehe $42 million dollars lost from the sponsorship has still not been repaid by the Liberals.
