So Bev Oda says she has paid back the exorbitant expenses she ran up during a trip to England, finally including $1,000 a day for a limousine to ferry her from her choice digs at the Savoy to the five-star hotel where she was originally booked into.
So who thinks Queen Oda would have paid so much as a thin dime had she not been found out by reporters who told Canadians?
And did her restitution cheques go to the Receiver-General of Canada - i.e. into the general pot to go towards any and all of Ottawa's many departmental budgets - or entirely to the Canadian International Development Agency which she is supposed to be running for the benefit of impoverished people overseas?
And, finally, could Harper not find somebody a bit more personally frugal to be the cabinet minister responsible for helping poor people?
