Mr. Speaker, the point is that the minister ignored an earlier audit which showed incredibly questionable practices by this group.
Here are some of the warning bells in the audit that the minister slept through: more than $1 million in payments to companies owned by clinic directors; a whopping bill of over $300,000 for just one client; questionable vehicle payments; unsupported travel claims; and money spent on trips to Las Vegas, Australia and Hawaii. The list went on and on.
Why did the minister fail so badly in his duty to protect the public interest?
