Stephen Harper started saving Canadians money the second he was sworn in today. It’s actually pretty simple math.
Paul Martin had 37 Cabinet Ministers. The bonus to salary for being a Minister is ~$70,000. Harper’s trimmed down cabinet saves us roughly 3/4 of a Million dollars each and every year. You might think this is mice nuts in the grand scheme of things. And maybe it is. But when you have a government buildings infested with them, it doesn’t take long before the nuts add up to a nice little nest egg that hatches into an MRI machine, or money for Fabrayze patients, or a tax cut.
Give the man a single second in the PM chair and he’s already thinking of us, the taxpayers.
