The NDP sure likes those constituency offices as a means to steal taxpayers' money for political, partisan purposes.

I still ask, why didn't the NDP pay the stolen $460,000 back to taxpayers as a showing of good faith once they were caught?

British Columbia's New Democrats used almost $460,000 of publicly funded constituency money to conduct party activities and pay off caucus expenses during a five-year period that ended Dec. 31, 2011, says a leaked document.

The document is a briefing note prepared for the government's all-party Legislative Management Committee, and describes the operations of the NDP Members Constituency Office Centralized Fund.

The briefing note is connected to leaked portions of a draft report from Auditor-General John Doyle that stated that by March 2009, the NDP amassed $460,000 from monthly constituency office payments and most of the money was used to fund partisan activities.

The briefing note details the concerns of the Auditor-General about how the fund was managed and documented and whether the fund should be permitted to carry a surplus at the end of each year.

"From 2006 up to December 31, 2011, the fund has made total expenditures of $459,790 and currently has an unexpended balance of $145,733," said the briefing note.

The note also stated the majority of the fund was used to pay Gabriel Yiu, a two-time former NDP candidate who provides multicultural outreach services for the NDP caucus.

Au contraire. Neither of them do.

The NDP never paid back that stolen money. They never paid back the $1 million they stole during Bingogate, either. They are thieves, plain and simple, and seem to think they're above reproach for their illegal activities.
