Mr. Speaker, salaries as high as $250,000 for a university professor or $400,000 for a hospital president are reported in an article in the Sunday Toronto Star .
Taxpayers are also footing the bill for subsidized housing, company cars and undisclosed travel and expense accounts, all without the scrutiny of public accounting.
This situation must change. As the federal government provides a large proportion of funds to the provinces for secondary education and health care, we must ensure that accountability is made a matter of public knowledge.
