Radwanski expenses By Kathleen Harris Ottawa Bureau OTTAWA-- Free spending ex-privacy commissioner George Radwanski could be forced to reimburse the public purse for dipping too deep into his expense accounts and leaving a trail of unpaid income taxes. Canadian Alliance MP Paul Forseth said yesterday the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency must review Radwanski's controversial deal to write off more than $500,000 in taxes. Radwanski should have disclosed the prospect of a looming $210,000-a-year job as privacy commissioner when he hammered out the final details of a bankruptcy protection arrangement in 2000, Forseth said. "That whole agreement might be invalid because of misrepresentation," he said. Paid 10% of debt Comparing it to a divorce pact based on an incomplete financial picture, Forseth said the looming high-paid post could have altered the founding terms of the tax relief deal that resulted in him paying just 10% of taxes owed. "If they knew this and there was no political interference, that's fine, it was all above board. But if not, they've got to go back and negotiate with him again," he said. CCRA spokesman SAm Papadopoulos said individuals are required to report potential income to the court when going through bankruptcy protection. It's possible to petition the court to reopen a case, but only in cases with evidence of fraudlent intent. NDP Pat Martin said he hopes the public can recoup misspent dollars. The auditor general's audit of Radwanski's financial dealings could lead to such orders," he said. "I want to see us go after reimbursement retroactively." ========== Should any reader wonder WHY we have spent space for Radwanski, it is because he, as privacy commissioner, found the UNFINDABLE LAW that prevented the 1911 census from being released June 1, 2003. As a former editor in chief of toronto Star and writer of speeches for the Prime Minister, he "possibly" thought he wrote or read it. Muriel M.
