It's Just Money

Let's start taking amounts out of the mandatory pensions MPs receive. Let's see how free and easy they are to waste money when they will lose theirs:

The Trudeau government has written off $1.2 million in taxpayer assets due to rampant thefts and losses among federal agencies.  

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, an Inquiry Of Ministry shows that since Apr. 1, 2018, the government has recorded a total of $1,210,893 in lost or missing assets. 

Among the incidents was $153,666 in stolen cash for “unauthorized or fraudulent use of acquisition or travel cards” within Parks Canada. The agency saw 65 different incidents of people improperly using taxpayer credit cards as well as 15 petty thefts ranging from $3 to $2000 in value. 

It is unclear how many federal employees were fired or faced criminal charges as a result of fraudulent activity or thefts.

Cabinet is concealing the true cost of a landmark bill that would extend official bilingualism to the private sector, the Parliamentary Budget Office said yesterday. Actual costs were more than a quarter billion, said analysts: ‘Departments have not announced details and refused to provide these details.’

 

About that:

The federal government has largely underestimated the costs associated with French language requirements for federally regulated businesses in its proposed modernization of the Official Languages Act, according to the latest report issued by the parliamentary budget officer.

The PBO’s findings, which were published on Thursday, revealed that private compliance costs could rise to $240 million in one-time costs — mainly for language training and bilingualism wage premiums for managers in designated bilingual regions outside Quebec — in addition to $20 million each year in “ongoing costs” to keep up with the possible future law’s requirements.

That is a far off from the $16 million budgeted in 2022-23 for the initial implementation costs associated with Bill C-13 in December’s economic update.

 

The French language is artificially propped up by the government using taxpayer money and they decided to hide it all.



Oh, it might have something to do with your boss' destruction of the oil sector in this country:

A shortage of oil and gas workers is a big problem, says Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan. His remarks follow a report that cabinet’s climate change plan threatens 170,000 energy jobs, by federal estimate: “Are you spinning us here? Are you serious?”
