Gomery Spin Part 2 Dingwall's Assertion

Update: David Dingwall says "All expenses came from the operating revenue of the corporation, not from taxpayers' dollars."

So, to summarize: the $700,000 came out of profits - and according to the Liberals - you can spend profits however you want to because that is not taxpayers money. Never mind that the profit spent could have saved taxpayers money elsewhere - that's just a red herring.

Therefore, the Liberals next step will be to say that the money spent on the sponsorship scandal was not taxpayers money - it was from the profits (i.e. surplus).

So by the rule of "Dingwall's Assertion" there is nothing wrong with that.
