Mr. Speaker, champagne Charlie Boyer knew how to live the good life at taxpayers' expense. The assistant to the Minister of Canadian Heritage also had the minister's blessing because she signed each and every expense claim: dinner meetings on New Year's Eve; two dinners in one night; sushi at seven; steak at nine. She signed them all. Now she says that she will do a line by line examination.
Why did the minister not do a line by line examination when she signed the reports instead of after the scandal has broken?
