Yeah, $43,000.00 dollars will get you laid all right....

Well, its good to see our elected officials are creative in their junkets. $200,000.00 is being requested so that Canadian MP's can travel to some of the worlds's brothels and bordellos, with 43,000.00 alone going to "fees and interpreters". Jerks! Just hire "Ed the Sock"! Bet you can get his un-dee-vi-dedd attention for a whole week with 200 G's!! Certainly you have mine!

MPs seek cash for study of European prostitutes

MPs would benefit from visiting these areas and meeting with law enforcement agencies, counsellors and brothel owners, the budget request document states.

The $143,678 travel budget request for Liverpool, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Stockholm includes $62,840 for transportation, $25,328 for accommodation, $12,000 for food and $43,500 for miscellaneous items like interpretation, official gifts and fees.

The trip by Davies, Tory MP Art Hangar, Bloc Quebecois MP Paule Brunelle and Liberals John Maloney and Hedy Fry was approved by the justice committee Thursday, but must still clear another Commons budgetary committee.

Justice committee chairman Paul DeVillers said the trip has merit.

"I think it will be of value for the subcommittee to go and speak to people in those countries that have different regimes and get a sense of which is the best way to go," he said.
