Ad man says he worked 10 hours a day, 365 days a year for Ottawa

OTTAWA - The head of one of the companies at the heart of the sponsorship scandal insisted yesterday he spent 10 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year working on federal government business.

Gilles-Andre Gosselin told MPs that is how he was able to personally bill the government for 3,673 hours of work in one year plus run his company and serve his other clients. He billed the Canadian government $625,325 in 1997 — just for his own services.
