OTTAWA — The Liberal government says a "significant number" of Conservative appointees have offered to step down after being asked to quit, while others will be called before parliamentary committees to explain their credentials.

But the Prime Minister's Office is refusing to provide even a numerical breakdown, citing privacy concerns for the individuals involved.

That's a sharp reversal from earlier this month, when the Liberals said they had sent letters to 33 people who they asserted had been given pre-election appointment renewals by the former Harper government, which they said amounted to an abuse of process.

At issue are appointments to boards and tribunals due to expire after the Oct. 19 federal election — some of them many months after the election — but were renewed in advance by the Conservatives before last summer's election call.

Out of 33 appointees reported to have received letters from LeBlanc seeking their voluntary resignation, 19 had been re-appointed under good behaviour provisions, meaning they can only be removed with cause.

I guess if that is all you could get to line your pockets

It's a dirty job but someone has to doit to avoid utter chaos.

Millions spent so far.

Not one job created.
