I appreciate what the honourable member has said in guiding me to the right examples. I will use the example that is already public, and that is that of Port-au-Prince in Haiti. This involved an episode that was detected initially with locally engaged staff. When we investigated the use of diplomatic plates on private vehicles, we went from there and further anomalies came to light, and we investigated those, and a considerable amount of fraud was uncovered, to the amount of $1.7 million. I will tell the committee that the appropriate actions were taken, including dismissals of locally engaged and Canada-based staff as well as systematic efforts to recover the funds for Canadians.
I can tell you that we learned from that episode, and I instructed that further audits be undertaken to give me the assurance that the same things were not happening elsewhere. I think, in detecting fraud, you have to be prepared to go anywhere that the facts might lead and not be afraid of what you will find, and that's what we've done.
