Bummer.

The day I get an invite [from Nain Inuit Community Government] to attend a meeting on transportation issues with the Minister for WST the minister gets “steped aside” by the Premier.
The problem is only 3700 bucks that were double invoiced on the Ministers Constituency Allowance, a far cry from the 6 figures of alleged overspending of some of Minister Hickeys co MHA’s.
The Minister has admitted mistakes were made by cutting a cheque post hast to the House of Assembly. He also hastily laid blame at others for any and all oversights or mistakes.
In a valiant effort to look squeaky clean, the minister offered up to a CBC reporter that “I called the Auditor general to set up a meeting, he did not call me”. Only problem was that this statement was made directly after leaving a commanded meeting with the premier.

So I wonder if this long asked for and longer needed meeting on transportation issues at Minister level will go ahead now. Just another sarga in the long running short changing we patiently put up with up here.
