Monitoring Program: Performance

Canadians Tax Dollars Dept: They say the monitoring program used the public service for partisan ends, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Rather, it is that the Conservatives crossed the line when they used Canadians tax dollars to measure their performance at partisan events during an election campaign." OTTAWA - The Liberals want the country's top civil servant to investigate the Conservative government's use of media monitoring during the 2011 election. "The issue is not that it is inappropriate for the government to monitor mainstream and ethno-cultural media," said Liberal Treasury Board critic John McCallum. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
