Mr. Speaker, the sorry saga of improper dealings with transitional jobs fund moneys in the Prime Minister's riding continues.
The human resources department set up two unusual trust funds to keep from having to cancel a TJF grant the Prime Minister announced for a company that soon after headed for bankruptcy. We have now learned that both trust funds broke treasury board guidelines and one even illegally violated the Financial Administration Act.
Why was helping out the Prime Minister more important than honouring legal financial controls?
