On this edition of Politics Today RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda focuses on the controversy surrounding the expense claims of Conservative Senator Mike Duffy.
He talks about the Liberal government re-election in the Pacific coast province of British Columbia, and the fact that Canadian minister Leona Aglukkaq became the new chair of the Arctic council, the world’s main international forum on northern issues.
And he has an update on the continuing protests of Canadian diplomats as they try to negotiate a new collective agreement with the Canadian government.
