Physical Prudence? Watching every penny.... wasting every dollar....

Federal government racks up nearly $300,000 in cellphone late-payment fees

"Hold the phone — the federal government has racked up close to $300,000 in late fees for cellphone services and other wireless devices over the past few years because it never paid its bills on time.

The eye-popping wireless late-payment charges have accumulated as the government insists it is owed $3.5 million in wrongfully charged late fees by telephone companies.
...
Nearly $70,000 in cellphone late payment fees came in October 2013 alone and another $65,000 from November 2013, according to documents tabled this week in the House of Commons.

The Conservative government has been piling up late-payment fees as it preaches fiscal prudence, cutting billions of dollars in spending and laying off thousands of federal government employees."
