Do as I say, not as I do.

Audits are not fun. People hate them. They can instill the fear of God for some. But it is a sad reality that nearly everyone is subject to, except for Parliament.

So not only are the rules of the Board of Internal Economy not public, when Ms. Fraser offers to take a friendly look at their books, she is refused access. Must be nice. Am I extended the same privilege if the Canada Revenue Agency comes knocking on my door?

Actually, CRA should take a look at their books! They did a great job in Toronto where they should be given lessons on the basic concept of taxable benefits!

There should be no public account that is beyond the scrutiny of the Auditor General -- none.

If security is of concern, then we'd better start appointing Auditor Generals who are up to the task.

Forget the Auditor General: send in CRA with the same mandate they have for small businesses and individuals. And exactly the same rules regarding deductability.
