But at least he is spending a lot of money doing nothing...

That's a lot of money for not doing anything anyone is aware of

The mystery surrounding Rick Laliberte's travel expenses deepened Wednesday, with the release of statistics which indicate the Saskatchewan Liberal MP rarely attends House of Commons committee meetings.
A Meadow Lake newspaper, meanwhile, claimed in a recent editorial that Laliberte is rarely seen in any of the communities in the Churchill River constituency and often misses important votes in the House of Commons.
All this has Jeremy Harrison, the Canadian Alliance candidate in Churchill River, once again demanding Laliberte come clean about the $310,000 in travel costs he racked up in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003.
It was the second year in a row Laliberte topped the charts among Parliament's high flyers. He has gone through more than $550,000 during the last two fiscal years -- more than former privacy commissioner George Radwanski spent on lavish living and luxury travel.
