Ottawa funded ex-PM Martin's 'oral history' by eastvanray

Opinion

Taxpayers funded the reasearch for Paul martin's new book?  This guy is worth how much and we had to foot the bill for his ghostwriters?  I guess this is just another example of Liberal arrogance and the reason we have a Conservative government now in Ottawa. 

Ottawa funded ex-PM Martin's 'oral history' Canwest News ServicePublished: Wednesday, October 29, 2008

The federal government paid to conduct and to transcribe hundreds of hours of interviews with Paul Martin and other political figures from his time in office, funding the creation of an "oral history" that the former prime minister says became the "spine" of the political memoir he released this week. The transcripts of these interviews commissioned by the Archives will become public only after Martin's death. But copies were provided to Martin and a researcher hired by the publisher of Hell or High Water: My Life in and Out of Politics to help write the book.
