As I mentioned earlier, the Auditor General did a study on the overall nature of trusts between the federal government and provinces. The general trend or general rule of thumb is that there are no conditions attached in those transfers, so that there are trusts for strengthening police forces and trusts for other objectives.
Because of that, I think the discretion on how that is spent when it is transferred lies, then, with the provinces. As to whether that goes into the provinces' general revenue or into other areas, this is, I think, as the previous member suggested. They're called “trusts” because partly it's a matter of trust in terms of the partnerships between the federal and provincial governments.
On this one, the reason we don't know is that we don't have the mandate to look at how the provinces intend to actually spend it. We don't have the oversight on what the provincial programs of spending will be. I've seen what the numbers are in the press, but we haven't officially, in the scope of our audit, looked at how the funds were actually disbursed.
