It's only when the police came calling years later that Ripeau realized her work was turned into a pair of reports purportedly analysing sponsorship opportunities for the federal government at the cost of $1 million.

Now let's think of how in the world it costs over a million bucks to have some clerk, whose job is worth just $35,000 per annum, compose a list of companies...

Hmm... a number of hours searching the internet... typing some names... printing the names on some paper... how the hell does that come to $1,100,000.00?

There's no doubt about it:

The Liberals are crooks, plain and simple!
