Federal Minister Stockwell previously announced an incentive program for bureaucrats who could identify good areas to cut spending.

Well here's a freebie for an eager bureaucrat - cut out ice cream for inmates.

According to a Merx Tender, the department of Corrections is looking to spend $43,000 on ice cream for incarcerated inmates. One of the six facilities to receive the ice cream is none other than the maximum security centre at Ste-Anne-des Plaines in Quebec.

Sound familiar? That's where convicted child-killer Clifford Olson is withering away.

The ice cream revelation was brought to the attention of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation by the organization Families Against Crime and Trauma. A big bouquet goes out to them for this find.

Not surprisingly, as a victims' advocate organization, they find it offensive that while many hard working taxpayers don't have the money for ice cream, the government has the funds to provide such a treat to some of the worst criminals in Canada.

Find this news disgusting? Pick up the phone or email your MP. Such waste will never stop unless people start speaking out.
