Well, it's important to keep in mind the context. Money doesn't often disappear from the Canadian coffers. We are, generally speaking, one of the least corrupt nations in the world.

Any money that might have gone to the liberal party coffers directly has been paid back.

So, while this is a clear example of government waste and cronyism, it doesn't seem to be either that major or that widespread. I hate to use the "few bad apples" defense, but it does seem that there was just a small group of Liberal toadies from Quebec that did the damage, and not the Liberal party generally.

Hm... maybe I should check if the Gomery report is available online. That would have the specifics.
