Will we ever know the truth about anything gov. does. This stinks just like the extraordinary pay fiasco in Ottawa, which now seems to include sabotage and cover-ups.  A $100 accounting program can cut pay cheques. Why can't Ottawa? Why can't they get money back from employees on the payroll? It's a no-brainer;  Deduct it.

I don't buy either story.  It's as if our civic leaders and opposition parties are asleep.
