Eggleton had slept with a prostitute, then hired her to write a report on, say, venereal diseases among enlisted men, perhaps he would still be employed, assuming he kept his receipts.
Eggleton had had a lengthy affair in the late 1990s, had been given the contract to study the effects of post- traumatic stress disorder on Canadian Forces personnel.
Eggleton was at pains to point out, the contract was not funded out his departmental budget; rather, "this came out of my own budget for political staffers and researchers." He hadn't paid her out of the taxpayer's left pocket, but his right.

 CTV.ca | Art Eggleton says his firing was unfair
Eggleton, who spoke about his demotion for the first time this week, said he thinks Prime Minister Jean Chretien's office had known for some time that he had given a contract to a former girlfriend.
Eggleton was the second-longest serving defence minister in Canadian history last May when he became the first Chretien minister fired over ethics.
In the summer of 2001, Eggleton issued a $36,000 research contract to a former girlfriend, Maggie Maier, an act which ethics counsellor Howard Wilson found to be in "clear breach" of the cabinet conflict-of-interest code.

 Eye Weekly - Art Eggleton's thin red line - 02.07.02
But what Eggleton is doing as defence minister is repugnant to probably the vast majority of Torontonians, both the few who were born here and the many who came from another part of the world.
The government should remove Eggleton for his disregard of the Geneva Conventions and immediately confirm its intention of acting only in accord with them.
Given what Toronto has done for Art Eggleton's career, the city and its residents of many different cultures are owed no less.

Art is already present in the display area, on an arrangement of risers, tables, and chairs that makes it visible to the audience even while auctioneers, runners, and others drift around in front of it.
Awards are almost always a component of a good art show, as their very existence lures in art and artists that might not otherwise have graced this convention.
After closing, the art show staff puts the awards on the works that won them, and -- in keeping with a tradition that has somehow never been written down or made known to people in general -- starts hauling all of the award-winning works into the room where the auction will be held.

Defence Minister Art Eggleton says his top military officers have not undermined him with their testimony before a Commons committee investigating whether Eggleton lied to Parliament.
Some in the military are quietly suggesting that the reason the minister isn't getting the same level of protection is that some are unhappy that Eggleton, and the rest of cabinet, have not given more money and resources to the undermanned, overworked Armed Forces.
But even if Eggleton is not recalled before the Procedure and House Affairs committee, military observers believe the damage has been done to Eggleton's credibility, and possibly to the relationship between the military brass and their boss.
