Mr. Speaker, the terms and conditions of the Canada jobs fund are very specific. They say the rules can only be amended with the approval of treasury board. Clearly, the 8.4% unemployment rate in the minister's riding did not meet the guidelines to receive $640,000 in CJF grants that she herself approved on November 1.
Can the minister tell us and will she produce the authorization from treasury board that gave her the authority to break those rules?
