Mr. Gauvin, you assisted Mr. Ewanovich, appointed by Mr. Zaccardelli. Mr. Crupi and six others were party to a golf game at the St. Andrews golf course in New Brunswick on August 26, 2001.
I have here an e-mail from an official hired by Mr. Crupi with instructions on how to bury this cost in pension fund expenses. This e-mail clearly shows the intent and the mechanism of how to commit fraud against RCMP pension funds. It reads in part:
I need to make an adjustment on the rate for the RCMP Pension Advisory Board.... The purpose of this is to hide the golf rates in the room rates and to expense the golf.
How often did senior RCMP officials use the RCMP pension and insurance funds to cover inappropriate living, hotel, recreational, and personal expenses?
