PRESS RELEASE:
Date: May 19, 2010
From: Andrew Gill, St. Catharines Liberal MP Candidate
Accountability – Taxpayers are in Agreement.
The recent news that Members of Parliament would not agree to Auditor General Sheila Fraser’s request to examine their expenses has created much discontent amongst Canadians. Taxpayers have had enough of not getting straight answers to simple questions, starting with … How are you spending my tax dollars? As a St. Catharines City Councillor, all of my expenses are detailed in a public report and I welcome the opportunity to share this information. Today, I am declaring that I will follow the lead of Scarborough Liberal MP Michelle Simson, who has been the only MP to post her expenses on her website, and do the same if elected a Member of Parliament.
The taxpayers have spoken, it’s time elected representatives start listening. There’s no reason an MP should be reluctant to report their public expenses and taxpayers should expect no less.
