It is indeed a sad and heart rending story of  financial hardships suffered by dedicated staffers in this penny pinching government that safeguards the taxpayers money so well and would never waste it or run deficits over a maximum of $10 billion and only for 3 years tops.

Myself, I think Butts and Telford should have claimed much more than their paltry $100 K plus and $80K plus respectively for their extremely profitable moves from Toronto to Ottawa to toil in the PMO.

Certainly they should hit up More Dough Morneau for top ups.
