Well, according to the findings that were written in the Auditor General's report there were a number of inadequacies that weren't followed within CanNor.
This is not the only example of the list that I recovered, where there have been long-time contributors to the Conservative Party who were given contracts by CanNor, contracts that were signed off, from what I understand, by the minister. In fact, one of those contracts was to a company called True North Properties Group and the company president was Mr. Birrell, who had directly donated to the minister's campaign.
So I'm not sure how the ethics piece measures up in CanNor if direct contracts and services can be given to all of these groups who are long-time donors to either the minister who is responsible or the Conservative Party.
