Political Panel, May 11: Libya mission cost overruns
The cost of fighter jets isn't the only military cost that's soaring.
Today, Defence Minister Peter McKay faced questions about the cost of Canada's mission in Libya. Documents from the Department of National Defence put the cost of the mission at nearly 350 million dollars -- seven times what McKay told CBC it would cost last October.
Our political panel has convened to discuss this and more from the week in politics..

Political Panel, May 4: Former PMs breaking bread, and the winner of our "cubicle cocktail" contest
Five hundred dollars a plate is one expensive dinner. But last night in Toronto, it bought you access to five former Canadian primer ministers. We get this dish on the event from Susan Delacourt and Rob Russo, plus they choose the winner of our "cubicle cocktail" contest -- your recipes for drinks that reflect the government public service cuts.

Political Panel, April 27: Expensive orange juice and surprising words on the abortion debate
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has vowed numerous times not to re-open the debate on abortion in Canada. But Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth is ignoring that particular memo. He's calling on MPs to set up a committee to examine the section of the Criminal Code which declares that a child becomes a human being when it emerges alive from the body of its mother.
He probably expected the ensuing attacks from opposition MPs concerned about abortion rights...but perhaps not from Conservative cabinet minister Gordon O'Connor. We convened our political panel to discuss this, plus a very expensive glass of orange juice charged to taxpayers by Bev Oda.
