Canada's auditor general has laid bare the Senate's expense-account excesses in a scathing 116-page report. In it, Michael Ferguson calls for independent oversight to teach the upper chamber some respect for the public purse. But New Democrat MP Charlie Angus says he'd also like to hear an apology.
