Monsieur Bernier, Why Are We Still Paying You?

Recently, former Conservative foreign affairs minister Maxime Bernier denounced a Montreal newspaper report stating that documents he misplaced last year, at a girlfriend's home, contained crucial national security information. The documents were obtained by the newspaper through a federal access to information request.

Nonetheless, Maxime Bernier earlier resigned from cabinet after it was revealed that he had indeed left classified documents at his girlfriend's house.

Do I really need to ask what would happen to me if I had made the same serious blunder? Likely not. However, I do want to know why, if this idiocy was committed, we are still paying this guy.
