Ottawa — Immigration Minister Joe Volpe was just doing his job when he billed taxpayers nearly $7,000 for restaurant meals during an 11-week period last spring, his spokesman says.
A government website shows Mr. Volpe was reimbursed $6,880.70 for 31 meals between March 3 and May 17.

Four of his aides paid for another eight meals with him and passed the sum of $4,010.45 on to taxpayers.

The arrogant Liberal Cabinet Minister obviously has no respect for the taxpayers of Canada.It is a total outrage that he would spend such huge amounts of money on extravagant meals at high roller restaurants.
It is no wonder Canadians in general are very cynical about politics and politicians.
I rather doubt Mr. Volpe will be punished for his trip to the trough.The Minister has proven he has no regard for tax dollars.
There should be a legal limit as to what a Minister can spend to eat and booze should not be charged to the taxpayers.
That's the way I see it !
