Canada pays consultant $90,000 per day to find cost savings

Oddly enough, the guy in charge of this initiative is Minister of Pork Tony Clement.

Porkmeister Clement was the man in charge of spending on the G20 summit last year, which became by far the most expensive summit in G20 history. Tony made sure as much of the money as possible was spent on his home turf. There'd be roads paved and hockey rinks refurbished where the only conceivable link to the G20 was that some of the big dogs might fly over them in a helicopter on their way to the meetings.

So Tony is no stranger to wasteful spending, that's for sure. That's why it's so mind-boggling that he would need to hire consultants to find the pork. For $90,000 a day!

I'm smelling more pork!
