Muriel - This is indeed living HOTH at our expense. He is averaging $45.00 per person per lunch. I think in the review of the whole system there needs to be a cap put on everyday expenses like this. How many days in the month does one need to treat in order to get your point across. It seems to be a good excuse for an exercise in excess. I am not familiar with these restaurants, and no doubt they are excellent, but surely this kind of spending should be considered off limits for daily use. Did Mr. R. not qualify to use the Parliamentary restaurants - from what I have read they serve up excellence at a much lower price than most of us could afford. It would be very interesting to see how many others would pass the scrutiny for this sort of overspending. Freda Stewart Calgary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Muriel M.

Hello Freda:- To the best of my knowledge, the gentleman would have qualified for meals in the Parliamentary restaurants, but possibly wanted something more than a "working lunch" as many Members of Parliament would do. Guests may also be taken to either the MP or Senate restaurants, by invitation of the Member of Parliament or Senator. I have copied in Reg Alcock, MP, head of the all-party committee -- very possibly your suggestion of a "cap" or top amount might be one of their suggestions -- at least discussed. Many thanks for the reply -- the meals certainly were expensive -- hope the service was great! Muriel M.

Hi Muriel - Attached is a note from a correspondent in Idaho. I like the idea of having to produce a receipt in order to be reimbursed. When I was still employed this was a condition of receiving repayment. No receipt, no repayment. " Here in the State of Idaho we do have caps on meals. In town it is a > smaller amount (entertainment). Out of town the limit is little higher. > AND they have to produce the receipts! Meals, hotel, car expenses, > everything has to have proof or they do not get reimbursed. > Our former mayor, YEA, got fired because he thought he could beat the > system, a big scandal for several city employees. Recalls do work. We > had over 3,000 extra signatures needed to recall him. Grassroots work > when people get mad enough to do something. > Barbara Boise, Idaho USA" > Freda Stewart Calgary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Muriel M.

Isn't it interesting that almost every meal was for 2 persons. I wonder who that second person was. If it was the ssame person all the time, it would seem to me to be a hard sale it was for Dominion business. More like monkey business. It would seem prudent for the Attorney General of Canada to open an investigation for fraud, theft of government funds, and conspiracy by that mysterious second person. Failure to do so would raise the question- who is the AG working for? -----Original Message----- From: Freda [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CCC] OFF TOPIC -- This Printed List Should Be Saved Muriel - This is indeed living HOTH at our expense.
