	David Dingwall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dingwall and New Brunswicker Doug Young were the most prominent Liberal casualites in the 1997 election when he lost his seat to the New Democratic Party's candidate.
		Dingwall's 1997 defeat was seen as signifying growing disentchantment in the Maritimes with the government's changes to Unemployment Insurance and cuts in fish quotas.
		Dingwall was also hurt by the growth of support for the NDP under the leadership of Nova Scotian Alexa McDonough, and by the government's decision to withdraw federal subsidies to coal mines in Cape Breton (although this wasn't formally announced until 1999 and DEVCO was shut down in 2001 - long after his election defeat).

		Dingwall resigned his $277,000 a year job after it was revealed that his 2004 expenses approached three quarters of a million dollars.

	Sun Ottawa Bureau Columnist: Greg Weston - 'That sounds totally bizarre'
		Dingwall got a consulting gig paying $12,000 a month from a Montreal advertising executive he had apparently never met, supposedly to provide lobbying advice to VIA rail, a Crown corporation prohibited by law from hiring lobbyists.
		Dingwall never registered as a lobbyist for VIA, and in any case, Crown corporations are prohibited from using tax money to hire outside muscle to lobby the government that owns them.
		All of which apparently comes as a huge surprise to David Collenette, the former transport minister responsible for VIA rail at the same time Dingwall was secretly raking in the dough not lobbying cabinet ministers.
