Heads will loll!

OTTAWA (CP) - The heads of three Crown corporations have been suspended in connection with the federal sponsorship scandal and another case, Prime Minister Paul Martin announced Tuesday. Via Rail President Marc Lefrancois is suspended without pay until Monday when he will have to "explain why further action should not be taken" in respect to the scandal. Canada Post President Andre Ouellet is suspended with pay pending an interim report on management practices and the sponsorship program. Michel Vennat, president of the Business Development Bank, is suspended until Monday in relation to the firing of the bank's former president. He will also have to explain why he should not be disciplined further.

Suspended? "Disciplined"? After the Beaudoin affair, why hasn't Vennat been charged with something?
