Re: Visible Government: Working for online transparency

Great idea, but alot of the expenses are very hidden. Numerous cabinet ministers expense through departmental accounts instead of ministerial accounts for example. Perhaps they should add a link to Corey Horners howdtheyvote.ca for voting records and speech records. How many MPs get away with the fact that they never speak in the house or when they do its on some planted question nothing to do with their riding...I think they need to start to be accountable...especially with all of those new "accountability" regulations...lol
Expenses for committee travel for example or interparliamentary association travel also. A very protected piece of information! This is were millions are spent but are never released publicly to the constituents to see how many but not all MPs benefit with their families also! There are abusers and there are those who refuse to participate (usually told to keep quiet by their fellow members). In addition public expenses such as printing accounts to see who is running up significant costs...please note there are 2 accounts those expensed to the MP and those expensed to the house account, one must be sure to report each!
