Ottawa reveals government shredders and their costs
The federal government owns 850 paper shredders worth over 750000 dollars with the RCMP holding 263 units across detachments. The priciest model at 17696 dollars is in a Montreal post office and the cheapest at 90 dollars belongs to the revenue department. Conservative MP Elmer MacKay had asked for the data to gauge shredder capability. He noted inconsistencies and questioned why Finance shows no shredders in its holdings.
