Beno\u00eet Corbeil has said that the $4.8 million Ottawa paid to Option Canada, and never accounted for by the No campaign, was used to organize the Montreal \u201clove-in\u201d.</p>\n<p>In connection with the sponsorships, the Prime Minister said \u201cI was Minister of Finance, and needed to be more vigilant. Public money was misdirected and misused\u201d.</p>\n<p>Will he now recognize that he was equally negligent with Option Canada, which used Ottawa's money to break Quebec law?</p>",
