Dingwall awarded $417,780
Payout one of Martin's last acts

David Dingwall, former head of the Royal Canadian Mint, has received $417,780 in his now-famous "entitlements," as one of the last acts of Prime Minister Paul Martin's departing Liberal government.

...Stephen Harper, who takes the prime minister's oath tomorrow morning, said yesterday the Liberals had misled the public where Dingwall was concerned.

"After months of evasive answers in the House of Commons, we have now learned that David Dingwall's departure from the Royal Canadian Mint was involuntary," Harper said in a statement. "This is contrary to the information given by the Liberal government. I am very disappointed that Parliament was misled on this matter." More @ Toronto Star

Any Liberals want to reconsider their vote?
