	Peace, order and good government, eh?: A distinction without a difference
		Treasury Board Chairman Reg Alcock would really appreciate it if we'd all be a lot more careful with our language in discussing the sponsorship scandal and the popularly reported figure of $100 million that seems to have gone astray.
		Somewhere between 0 and $100 million of taxpayers' money has been misappropriated and this is a problem because it means that elected officials, civil servants and highly placed appointees in Crown corporations may have engaged in activity that is somewhere between dishonest and corrupt and may in fact be somewhere between illegal and criminal.
		And Alcock denied that the prime minister or members of the Liberal caucus were using spin in their handling of the crisis that has hit the government.

	Dennis Mills "I'll get back to you"
		Treasury Board President Reg Alcock recently learned something about Toronto-Danforth MP Dennis Mills that some of us long ago knew: When it comes to telling it like it really is, Dennis can be pretty dicey.
		With sums supplied to him by Mills, and with confidence Alcock quoted figures reportedly originating from the respected firm of Ernst and Young showing $13 million had been lost in the ongoing sponsorship scandal--not $100 million as was widely believed.
		Alcock, at least, was big enough to admit he had unwittingly passed on bogus information to the public, inadvertently misleading them in the bargain.

	The Globe and Mail: John Ibbitson
		Despite the warnings from senior public servants that the reappointment of Reg Alcock as President of the Treasury Board would lead to a wave of resignations, it turns out that his renewed tenure was never in doubt.
		Alcock's tendency to bruise and abuse egos and to confuse transformative change (the Martin team's favourite phrase) with mere disruption may make the dog snarl.
		Alcock also falls the task of imposing new financial controls on each department, in order to limit the possibility of future abuses such as occurred in the Human Resources and Public Works departments during the Chrétien era.

		After losing to Alcock by 6,500 votes in the 2004 election, Bruinooge -- taking his second shot at the seat -- said the riding is ripe for change.
		Alcock's rank as senior Manitoba MP and Treasury Board president means huge name recognition, and this prosperous riding is a Liberal stronghold.
		If Alcock is vulnerable this time, it might be partly due to frustration among motorists who had waited through more than a decade of underpass talk before the $44-million Kenaston job began last year.
