It has come out in the news recently that Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty broke the rules regarding who he hired to help writing last year's budget speech. According to a ctv.ca article (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080207/speech_writer_080207/20080207?hub=Politics)
Flaherty hired a man named Hugh McPhie who was paid $122,000 for his assistance. Personally, I believe with certainty that last year's budget (with its abandonment of Canada's aboriginals, the environment, and children living in poverty) was no where near good enough to deserve such an extravagent and exorbitant paycheque.
Although Flaherty is now claiming to follow the rules, his promises ought not to be believed. This is too little and it's most definitely too late.
