Misspending

May 22, 2014 – NDP Misspending

When you get caught doing something wrong, like misusing taxpayers’ dollars, you should “fess up”, pay back the money that you misused, and answer to those that you are accountable to. Pretty simple stuff, and after all of the news stories concerning misbehaving senators, you would think that Thomas Mulcair and the NDP would have learned what not to do. But last week instead of coming clean about the NDP’s misuse of taxpayers’ money, he justified the NDP’s scheme to get around House of Commons rules. It was wrong for senators to skirt rules for private benefit, and it was wrong for the NDP to misspend 3 million dollars for their party’s benefit. Mulcair should show some leadership and make his party pay back the money. He needs to take responsibility for what he and the NDP did with the funds that were entrusted to them. It’s a matter of simple ethics.
