Is Tony Clement Canada’s new Teflon man?

It seems that Tony Clement has become Canada's latest non-stick politician.

Despite months of allegations of wrongdoing with regards to the G8 legacy fund, Clement remains unscathed.

During the election campaign a leaked auditor general's report noted the Harper government "misinformed Parliament" and "skirted legal guidelines" to approve the flow of $50 million into dubious projects in Clement's riding.

Clement survived the AG's report with absolutely no political fall-out.

Not only did the Conservatives win a majority, but Clement was re-elected and given the job of Treasury Board President — one of the most powerful positions in government.

On Monday, NDP MP Charlie Angus held a press conference stating that new documents indicate Tony Clement avoided normal checks and balances by funneling the funds through his political office instead of through Federal departments.

On Wednesday, the Hill Times learned that members of a G8 fund vetting committee, that Clement chaired, awarded themselves with 83 per cent of the $50 million.

What will come from this latest news?

Likely nothing.

According to his twitter page, Clement is away on holiday so has been able to avoid questions from the media.

Liberal MP John McCallum called on the auditor general's office to conduct a full value for money audit in light of these revelations.

But it seems Clement won't have to deal with another investigation from the AG.

Ghislain Desjardins, media relations manager for the Auditor General's office, told iPolitics the AG's office has no plan, at this time, to reopen its investigation.

McCallum's next move will be to ask parliament's Government Operations committee to probe the matter.

Once again, however, it looks like Clement's luck will continue and he'll bypass any serious scrutiny. The Tories on the committee outnumber the opposition 7-5 so can thwart any attempts to investigate.

It seems like nothing is going to stick to lucky Tony.
