Encyclopedia
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. The CTF still has not explained the rational! On February 14, 2011 the RCMP released its long awaited investigation results and Goucher was cleared of any wrong doing.
