That seems to be the gist of today's announcement, at least -- that all travel and hospitality expenses will be covered by the proactive disclosure requirements that are currently in place for ministers, exempt staff and senior civil servants. Apparently, it's in response to the NDP's upcoming reveal that the government has spent $125,000,000 on hospitality over the last four years. I'm trying to get hold of the NDP's document dump so we can all follow along -- I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, check back at 12:30 for full coverage!
