Who is Len Goucher?
Len Goucher is a Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Bedford in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 2006 to 2009. He is a member of the Progressive Conservatives.
He served in the Executive Council of Nova Scotia as Minister of Tourism and Culture, Minister of Immigration, Minister of Public Service Commission and Minister of Seniors. He was also the minister responsible for the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation and the Liquor Control Act.
In February 2010, he became embroiled in a spending scandal involving inappropriate expenses charged to the public by a number of Nova Scotia MLAs. Goucher was singled out by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation when they highlighted Nova Scotian politicians for their "outrageous" expense claims, naming him the all-star of the scandal and giving him the nickname Len "the master of multi-tasking", even though Goucher's total expenses were 33rd highest on a list of 51 MLAs. On February 14, 2011 the RCMP released its long awaited investigation results and Goucher was cleared of any wrongdoing.
