Senator Audit A Must

The decision by Canada’s Auditor General, Michael Ferguson, to scrutinize the expenses of all Senators is a good one. There are bad apples in every barrel and to believe that only the current four (Brazeau, Harb, Duffy, Wallin) out of 105 Senators have crossed the line with their expense claims would be a stretch of the imagination. The audit will hopefully weed out other bad apples and provide Canadians with an assurance that their respect for the Senate is being restored.
