The Rot in Canada.....

The latest testimony at the Gomery Inquiry is damning for sure...but an Ottawa Sun article asks whether there might be some bigger corruption at the heart of the gun registy.

Over $1 billion has been thrown at the largely useless registry, four times the total amount wasted on the entire sponsorship program. To date, no one knows how much of that money was pilfered, laundered, or otherwise made to vanish in shady deals.

In one case, a Sun investigation almost two years ago revealed Groupaction billed the feds hundreds of thousands of dollars for gun registry work that no one seems to remember being done. The firm is now facing criminal charges related to those contracts.

But, does the Gomery Inquiry have the power to go beyond the sponsorship scandal?
