Let’s all take a breath about the Senate audit

I have an extra column on Loonie Politics this week, looking at the Auditor General's report on the Senate. While pretty much every other pundit out there hyperventilates about the findings and is agitating for either a fantasy version of reform or for abolition (which is never going to happen), I try to put the whole report into some perspective in a calm and clear-headed manner, and to put the numbers into context rather than in isolation.
