As unsavoury as this certainly appears to be, it yet to be proven that this "is the biggest scandal ... in Canadian history".  Several others including the on-going $400 million bid rigging ETS scandal of 2006 (Public Works under the Conservative tenure) are bigger on a $ basis. The Pacific Scandal of the 1870s and the 1926  King-Byng affair also rank far above this in $s.  Although not as high a $ figure,  the very damaging In and Out scandal of 2012 ended with the Conservative Party re-paying more than $230,000 for its role in violating election spending laws.
