Cruze Posted April 5, 2004 Report Posted April 5, 2004 Post all your Liberal Scams and Boondoggles here: Hopefully we don't run out of space lol. Ah, yes, another reason to love Sheila Copps and our Liberal friends in Ottawa. New revelations about our former Heritage Minister’s 1996 Free Flag Giveaway have just surfaced: Doreen Braverman, a former president of B.C.’s federal Liberal party and owner of a chain of flag stores, says she and a lot of other small suppliers were paid a commission to provide phoney invoices for flags they never made. Braverman said she got $250, 10 per cent of a $2,500 fake invoice. “We didn’t produce any flags — but we sent the invoice and they paid us and we had to pay the suppliers. It was just a way to circumvent,” Braverman told CBC News. When asked whether it was a kickback, Braverman replied: “It is like a little kickback.” Braverman also believes the flag freebie, budgeted for $6 million to $7 million, went way over budget because of the costs for staff, call centres and postage to deliver the flags. “By my estimates, it was $45 million,” she said. HEY!! I DIDN'T EVEN GET A FLAG :angry: BET I PAID FOR ONE Quote
