I forwarded the motion to the clerk to distribute to members:
That, given the Auditor General's audit of Sustainable Development and Technology Canada and given government-appointed board members approved:
a. $59 million towards ten ineligible projects;
b. $76 million towards ninety projects in which board members had conflicts of interest that violated internal conflict of interest policies and violated the Canada Foundation for Sustainable Development Technology Act;
c. $259 million towards ninety-six projects in which board members held conflicts of interest; and
d. $58 million towards projects without ensuring contribution agreement terms were met;
the committee express extreme concern with the blatant disregard of taxpayer funds, call on the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry to recoup these funds for Canadian taxpayers within 100 days following the adoption of this motion and report this matter to the House.
