I must admit that Bernard Lord made a good move when he appointed this guy. He plays the role like a pro. He's very friendly.

Lord did not appoint him. Lt. Govs are appointed by the feds. That makes him a Chrétien appointee, I believe.

How many millions does he spend of our taxdollars per year?

2005-2006 Fiscal Year: $297,400

Of that, salaries were: $181,500

They do not break it down into who got what.

There is also a payment showing to, "Hon Herménégilde Chiasson, To defray costs of operating Government House, $53,500"

Not sure what that one is all about.

So, it's not millions, but more $$$ than most of us will ever see.

Brent,

Stop and think about it for a second. Yes, it does sound like a lot of money, but very many people in NB early $25k a year - after 12 or 13 years of work, they would have earned $300. Agreed, that's the LG's budget for a year but still to say that it's "more $$$ than most of us will ever see" is a bit a straw horse.

I agree that the LG's job is a waste of money and should be cut out, but lots of people will earn taht amount of money in this decade alone.
