OTTAWA - The federal auditor general is poised to release audits of some $500 million in MP and Senate expenses that parliamentarians did not want conducted.

But anyone anticipating explosive evidence of individual misconduct may be disappointed........................http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada ... 40935.html

Details of politicians’ audits won’t be made public
June 15, 2012 - 4:13am By PAUL McLEOD Ottawa Bureau
OTTAWA —The Office of the Auditor General is refusing to release any more details from their investigation into how politicians manage tax dollars.

Michael Ferguson released the long-awaited audit into the administration of the House of Commons and Senate on Wednesday, but it included much fewer details than expected.

Ferguson’s staff did not audit members of Parliament or their staff, offices or contracts.

The audit found a minority of transactions did not meet oversight standards. Almost seven per cent of House of Commons transactions were not properly authorized, while over five per cent lacked supporting documents................http://thechronicleherald.ca/canada/107 ... ade-public

That's complete BS. Government officials at ALL levels should have their expenses made public.
