Mr. Speaker, yesterday the international cooperation minister told us that her audit, although completed in September, was finally read by her in December.
Although this contradicted her official spokesperson and a January 24 newspaper account, it pointed out more irresponsible largesse and more frivolous spending to the tune of $850 million.
Why has it taken almost five months and questions from the opposition, again, for the minister to come forward and tell us why she has not started to deal with this damning internal audit?
