Google Search Punch and Judy

The Speaker, Linda Reid, is trying to drag the assistant Deputy Speaker (NDP) into the fray... however there a catch, a double whammy!!!!    The Speaker AND the Finance Minister.

Note 10  Speaker Approved Travel

Certain travel expenses require the approval of the Speaker.  Examples include out-of-country travel in connection with specific duties (e.g. Commonwealth Parliamentary Association functions)  and attendance at conferences and other meetings.  Out-of-province / Out-of-country travel expenses incurred by the Speaker are approved by the Executive Financial Officer.

Did Reid tell the Exec. Financial Officer that She okayed the expense for her Deputy and all he had to do was Rubber Stamp her decision?

Could that be...... Mike de Jong as the Exec.?
