Mr. Speaker, that was a very selective quote indeed. What the Auditor General actually said was:
It's important...for people to understand how this money was spent and that summary reporting was not done.
The Auditor General looked thoroughly for the money. He said that full reporting on this spending was not even given to cabinet. It was not given to the Treasury Board, and it was not found in the public accounts. Does the government really want Canadians to believe that the Auditor General somehow missed something, like $3 billion? Where did the money go?
