On Saturday, The Globe and Mail's Jane Taber reported former Liberal leadership candidates Martha Hall Findlay "stopped collecting their secret Liberal salaries" at the end of April. "The two were paid paid by the party for election readiness and outreach work." But Ms. Taber continued. "A party official explained they are no longer being paid since most of their work is completed." And, really, why pay for work Mr. Kennedy is willing to do for free? In an email, party communications director Elizabeth Whiting confirmed "Mr. Kennedy is continuing his role as National Election Readiness Advisor for the Party on a volunteer basis" as indicated on a national campaign organization chart dated May 15. The following is a complete copy of the text of that chart, which was obtained by Public Eye.
