The Financial Administration Act describes that Parliament--and unfortunately I don't have the section here, but I will have it shortly--is required to vote or to approve expenditures for purposes for which they are intended. The fact that the border infrastructure fund was used, admittedly, as a vehicle or conduit for the G-8 legacy fund--the gazebos, the skating rinks, and so on.... I understood the Auditor General found that Parliament was not properly informed, and quite frankly was misinformed of what it was voting on, what it was approving, or authorizing. Do you feel as though that was a contravention of the Financial Administration Act?
