The basis of my question is not directly related to Heritage; it's related to this whole issue of accountability.
A couple of years ago, on my own time and expense--I want that on the record--I was in Tanzania visiting a couple of NGOs. I was at the Canadian embassy and we were talking about the CIDA programs and other aid and assistance programs that were coming from the Canadian taxpayer. We were talking about the accountability issue.
I was shocked when it was reported to me that upwards of 40¢ of every aid dollar was consumed, one way or the other, in a reporting function. That is just absolutely obscene, because NGOs can do administration, overhead, and advertising for under 10¢ on the dollar. So that's the basis of my question.
