The government didn’t tell Parliament it was approving $50 million for a G8 legacy fund that doled out cash for projects in cabinet minister Tony Clement's riding based on his advice, according to the auditor general, who could find no paper trail to explain how the projects were chosen.
The findings are contained in the Spring 2011 report written by former auditor general Sheila Fraser who retired on May 30. Acting auditor general John Wiersema presented the report Thursday and said the government didn't follow at least two policies designed to ensure the government is transparent and accountable, and that the report's findings are "troubling."
The report contains highly-anticipated chapters on the costs associated with last summer's G8 and G20 summits in Muskoka and Toronto and covers a number of other audits of government programs and services.
It slams how the government managed the finances of the back-to-back summit meetings and its overall lack of transparency.
