I'm being told I can ask a brief question.
Last fall, there was a very problematic headline in the Ottawa Citizen. It said, “Audit catches auditor general shirking rules; Internal review finds Treasury Board guidelines on expense claims not followed”.
In the text of the article, it said:
...meal-allowance limits were not always being respected, social events were possibly being paid for by taxpayers outside of government policy and documented pre-approval of expenses of more than $5,000 was not being obtained, as specified in Treasury Board policy.
I understand that this particular internal audit was not posted. Could you tell us what has been done to rectify this situation and whether this particular internal audit on hospitality could be tabled with our committee?
