Top auditor to review entire Senate as probe of sp brake clutch levers ending scandal widensAdd to ...
Canada’s Auditor-General is pushing forward with a review of the expenses of each senator, widening an investigation into the Senate spending controversy that has shaken the Prime Minister’s Office.Auditor-General Michael Ferguson, who was called in by the Senate two months ago, is expected to review all the office and travel expenses of each of Canada’s 100 senators,[url=http://www.adjustablelevers.net]motorcycle brake levers[/url], according to Senate sources. However, his audit’s timeline is unclear, as is how far back the audit will go.More Related to this StorySenate audits brings focus on need for clarity in residential requirementsopinionIf Wallin wants to be an activist, she should run for officeHow the PMO will withstand backlash from expenses scandalSenator Pamela Wallin delivers a statement to journalists about an audit examining her expenses on Parliament Hill on Aug. 12, 2013.galleryIn pictures: The four senators under investigation by RCMPwatchVideo: Why Tories should fear audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's travel expensesThe Canadian PresswatchVideo: Stephane Dion says Harper needs to explain Wallin expensesConservative Senator Pamela Wallin.REUTERSVideoVide sport bike parts o: Why are the RCMP investigating Pamela Wallin?Mr. Ferguson is said to have made his plans known while m motorcycle performance parts eeting with a Senate subcommittee Tuesday.His office didn’t return requests for comment Thursday evening.Mr. Ferguson’s office had accepted the Senate’s June 4 request to “conduct a comprehensive audit of Senate expenses, including senators’ expenses.” In a June 11 speech to a Senate committee,[url=http://www.soakwash.com/Canada_Goose_Parka.html]Canada Goose Parka[/url], he had said it was too early to s Racing Parts ay what the audit might include.“However, we can tell you that we will select the most significant or important processes in place and resources used by senators to conduct Senate business,” he said in the statement at the time.“This audit’s focus will likely include senators’ expenses and samples of their office’s transactions but,[url=http://www.fieg.it/Scripts/salastampa_gailleria.asp]moncler uomo[/url], as stated, we have yet to determine the scope of the audit,” he later added.Mr. Ferguson appears to have strong cross-partisan support. After earlier calling for Mr. Ferguson’s office to have more regular oversight over the Senate,[url=http://www.everything-dallascowboys.com/Cheap_NFL-Jerseys.html]Cheap NFL Jerseys[/url], Conservative Senator Hugh Segal welcomed the audit’s broad scope Thursday.“Committees of senators sitting in judgment of other senators, and also being the authority over Senate financial staff who give advice on travel rules, strikes me as way too cozy and potentially incestuous,” he said.Senator Mobina Jaffer, a Liberal, said she wasn’t surprised by the Auditor-General’s plan, and had long expected all senators’ expenses to ultimately be audited,[url=http://www.nothingbuttruth.com/canadagoosejackets.html]canada goose jackets[/url], calling it the next step in restoring the institution’s reputation. “It just comes in the way of our work, so I just want this Street Bike Levers cloud to lift,” she said.Conservative Senator Leo Housakos said Thursday he e racing lever xpects there will be little opposition to opening the books.“I’m comfortable with that, I’m happy with it, and I think it’s most appropriate that any office holder, both in the Senate and the House of Commons, should be open to a forensic audit from time to time,” Mr. Housakos said, adding he’d be surprised if there was any resistance. Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth added: “We have nothing to hide.”The widespread review comes after audits into Senators Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy, Mac Harb and Pamela Wallin. All were found by auditors to have filed improper expenses,[url=http://www.fieg.it/Moncler_Prezzi.asp]Moncler Prezzi[/url], and their cases were referred to the RCMP for investigation.The NDP has no senators and supports abolishing the Senate, but NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus nonetheless welcomed Mr. Ferguson’s audit. “We think this is the motorcy custom helmets cle rear sets next step in getting to the bottom of Senate problems. I don’t think a single Canadian thinks this is a problem of three or four rogue senators,” he said.The audit and the controversies come as the Supreme Court of Canada is prepa Motorcycle Racing Partring to consider several possible changes put forward by the federal government,[url=http://www.dormgrow.com/Men_Moncler_Jackets.html]Men Moncler Jackets[/url], including term limits for senators, consultations with the provinces on future appointments and whether Parliament can unilaterally abolish the Senate altogether.Some senators have embraced the transparency measures,[url=http://www.oilsandolives.com/Moncler_Kids.html]Moncler Kids[/url], in effect distancing themselves from the questions facing Mr. Brazeau, Mr. Duffy, Mr. Harb and Ms. Wallin. One Conservative senator, Don Plett, had volunteered his expenses to be audited first.Mr. Duffy paid back expenses after receiving a loan from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, who resigned after the matter became public. Mr. Harper has previously defended Ms. Wallin’s travel costs. Auditors say she must repay $121,[url=http://www.fieg.it/osservatorio_argiomenti_testi.asp]moncler sito ufficiale[/url],000 of those costs; she has already repaid $38,369. Mr. Harper hasn’t commented since the release of the audit into Ms. Wallin’s expenses, and his office referred questions Thursday to the Auditor-General and the Senate.Ms. Jaffer said she welcomes whatever recommendations Mr. Ferguson ultimately makes.“There is a system that they have set up that we follow, so I just don’t know what happened here,[url=http://www.officefurniturehut.com/Canada_Goose_coats.html]Canada Goose coats[/url],” she said, referring to the four investigations. “But I’m okay with whatever the system is. Obviously, it’s not our money.”More Related to this StoryopinionTo dodge the expenses scandal,[url=http://www.bowlingdelights.com/Canada_Goose_Jakke.html]Canada Goose Jakke[/url], Tories pretend they lead the mobAuditRead the audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's expensesinteractiveExplore every questionable expense claim filed by Senator WallinRCMP investigation reaches PMO in Senator Duffy controversyRCMP expand probe into Brazeau’s housing and travel expense claimsVerbatimRead Pamela Wallin’s full statement on her Senate expensesHow Pamela Wallin claimed more than $100,000 in questionable travel expenseseditorialThe Wallin affair shows why Ottawa needs to clarify the meaning of 'resident' for senatorsTory MPs unaware Wallin billed taxpayers
