    She should have lost her job a long time ago. Apparently swindling public funds is no big deal to the government :whistle:.

    Horrible misuse of public funds. Here are just some of the controversies behind this woman:

    1. In April 2012, she didn't like the 5* hotel that a London convention (on immunization of poor children, no less) was held at so she paid a cancellation fee and decided to stay at the Savoy instead for $665/night. She hired a driver and car for $1000 a day to transport her to the convention at the hotel she was originally scheduled to stay at. She also paid $16 for a glass of orange juice.

    2. Used nearly $5,500 in limousine rides at the 2006 Juno Awards.

    3.In 2008, it was uncovered that she hid over $17,000 of limousine expenses billed to taxpayers.
