That's a normative statement that many of us would find admirable, but the fact is they don't. We've all agreed that no auditor general exists for first nations people right now. We've all agreed that there should be something of that sort. But there is no guarantee whatsoever that there will be in the immediate future. As such, the money that is being transferred to these reserves is the money of the Government of Canada. As you correctly pointed out, we're not talking about auditing moneys that are raised on the reserve through legitimate activities on those reserves. This is money that comes from the federal government to organizations that are not self-governing bodies.
