Show Notes

It's that time of the week where we take a look past the veil into the stories that don't get the attention they deserve in Ottawa. Alex Pierson checks in with Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter Tom Korski.
Alex and Tom talk about why the auditors are not going to be examining billions in CERB payouts until 2023 at the earliest, a new vote that prohibits wage subsidies, but already paid billions to foreign-owned companies. They also touch on why MP Fergus says it would just stir the pot to investigate how $510 billion in pandemic spending went, and MP Dion wants rules that forbids MP helping friends under the Conflict of interest Code for MPs.
