No really. It's fishy. Like it's about fish.
Oh, and a half-million dollars handed to a Liberal Party lawyer for a non-competitive contract. That's not allowed by the rules, unless the situation is one of "extreme urgency".
What was so urgent? Apparently some salmon went missing, and there was no time to lose in researching the best bid. Indeed, the delivery of the money to this Liberal buddy took two hours days weeks months.
Two months? Extreme urgency? Salmon?
I told you it sounded fishy. Read the whole thing.

Very fishy, indeed. One of the most frequent themes of Sheila Fraser's reports is how government contracting rules are disobeyed. Isn't there any mechanism in place to redress these breaches of policy? Evidently not.
Perhaps the reason so many folks vote Liberal is the vain hope of a turn at the trough?
