First of all, thank you for your question and comment.
On the ground, I'm not sure I can confirm what the Auditor General is stating here. I really don't know if that's the case. In many situations, whether it's in communities or in a government relationship with somebody, politics comes into play. I can't confirm that what's being suggested by the Auditor General is in fact true.
What I'd like to do right now is turn to Chief Haymond, who may have some specific awareness or experience with this situation.
