Make him pay it back, plus interest. Plus why isn't he being prosecuted for perjury?

He made a deal with Revenue Canada where he did pay some taxes on the 300k. But what about those 20 million?

Because the Government would likely fuck it up again and we'd end up paying him even more.

Lets hope it doesn't cost Canadian taxpayers another $16 Million to recover said $2 Million already paid out to Mulroney. If so, it just ain't worth it!

I don't agree - it would be worth it. It's not about the money, but the principle. And, if the Reformacons hadn't so severely restricted the terms of reference for the inquiry, that 16 million would be money better spent. But they didn't need an inquiry to determine he shouldn't have received the 2 million - he's already on record as admitting that he lied to get that money.
