Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General has raised some very serious problems relating to transparency in the process of awarding contracts for first nations management by non-aboriginal third-party managers or co-managers, once again opening the door to abuse, favouritism and corruption.
Will the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs put an end to this laxness immediately and, above all, will he release the names of the management firms under contract to the department, along with the amounts involved?
