Thank you.
I have some questions with regard to chapter 6 and the CanNor Agency. When I was reading through the report, I found it very unusual that there were several sections in which you indicated they had not followed the proper.... I don't know if it was the proper protocols, but they certainly didn't have adequate tracking, and they were not looking at some of the paperwork in detail that was coming in. Some of the final reports were late, and supporting documentation was inadequate to match the payments that were going out. There were a number of things.
I'm looking at this and seeing some of these payouts of $600,000 and others of $200,000, and one for a truck for $31,000 for which there was no receipt. All of this to me shows a lot of evidence of an agency or a corporation of the federal government responsible to taxpayers in this country before giving out money and signing off on those kinds of cheques failing to do its job appropriately.
What recommendations are being made to the government for it to conform to better standards, better regulations, and more accountability before allowing these kinds of Canadian taxpayers' dollars to be paid out to charitable and business corporations without proper documentation?
