Madam Speaker, members will recall that the Auditor General produced a scathing report in 2005 entitled “Accountability of Foundations”. The government even transferred $9 billion to 15 foundations, including Sustainable Development Technology Canada, or SDTC. However, SDTC is only a symptom of a generalized cancer. The federal government is appallingly inefficient. It treats public funds like Monopoly money. That makes no sense.
If you form the government, what are you going to do differently to avoid schemes like that? More importantly, how are you going to guard against the kind of things we are seeing now?
