Auditing Senators' expenses and defending his own, AG Ferguson speaks
It's looking like it might be a bad week for the Senate.
With the Mike Duffy trial scheduled to resume Monday and the Auditor General's report on senator expenses about to be made public, the Upper Chamber can't seem to stay out of the spotlight.
But that spotlight was deflected over to Canada's watch dog himself, just days ago when media outlets reported that the office of the Auditor General spent more than $23,000 on team-building trips and close to $110,000 on "annual update" luncheons for 600 staffers over four years.
Was the timing a coincidence, or was someone trying to undermine the Auditor General in the twilight hours before his audit comes out?
Auditor General Michael Ferguson joins us to talk expenses -- the Senate's, and his own.
