The question is...will the Alberta government be missing in action, but still on the expense account?
Then Education Minister Ron Liepert spent $13,087.66 of our dollars to fly to Japan in November of 2007, supposedly to attend Worldskills 2007 and learn all he needed to know to host the competition in 2009 back home in Alberta.
His trip for the 4 day event was budgeted at $13,770.
As some might recall, Liepert was in Japan when the teachers pension settlement happened. Faster than Superman, Liepert was back in Alberta, front and centre, for the announcement on Novmeber 15th!
What puzzles is how Liepert managed to spend virtually all of the budgeted expenses even though he cut the trip short by half. $905.20 for meals for two, maybe three days? Mr. Liepert had better start watching his waist!
