Mr. Speaker, I will have to get back to the member on that one. I am sure that many of the endowments are done in the name of former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Canadians valued his years in office and are happy to see these kinds of things occur.
We are just as concerned as the opposition is with how we spend money. I have been in the House for many years and I can honestly tell members that we have always wanted to do good things. Many of the projects that are funded through foundations are very good.
I do not think the Auditor General has ever said that she did not like the work that they did, on the contrary. She wants permission to do compliance audits and I am in favour of that. I do not think it is necessary for the Auditor General to be named the annual auditor. There are a lot of audit firms out there that are very capable of doing this work, and it is probably a better idea that the audit function be separate from what the Auditor General does. The Auditor General can take a fresh look and come out with a compliance audit which is what we are really looking for.
