The Human Rights Commission boss tried to hide his travel expenses from public release, citing "safety" concerns! http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/3926418099001 …


u mad?

Levant has posted all of buddies expenses online (3000 pgs?).

Trying to get my head around how this could have ever been allowed regardless of the time frame in years.

Hopefully, it is one of the last nails in the HRC coffin

Yeah ... I can understand why a regime that challenges another's record on human rights would have such a blatant disregard for human rights.

Isn't there a distinction between Commissioner and Acting Commisioner?

That's an excellent question Ezra, why would the government have offered him a contract that allows him to commute from Winnipeg to Ottawa? That's ridiculous. It was pretty funny that they asked McKay about the expenses.

 

[captain morgan]

At approx $100,000 per year (over 8 years) on travel alone, it is still outrageous.

Regardless, this entire circumstance will cast a pall over the entire HRC organization

Now that HRC goes through Queens Bench, Commissioners are redundant.

I guess that buddy will be getting his pink slip... He'll be free to get a job in retail now, albeit, small chance of having an expense account to abuse

What is so pressing in WPG to go back to?

 

[captain morgan]

Wouldn't really matter.

Assuming that he worked a full day, what with the transit time to the airport, flight time and deplaning, etc - whatever he needed to be back for would be long over by the time he got there.

Buddy would need to make multiple return flights each week to hit that cost.

His flight costs are right up there with MPs traveling from the coast.

Maybe he couldn't find a sitter for the kids.. Needed to get back every night even if it was for just a few hours per night
