Aboriginal Affairs March 20th, 2000
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should not have rehearsed his second question until he heard the answer.
I have made it very clear to all members of the House that they have submitted all of their audits and everything is according to standard as we know it.
Aboriginal Affairs March 20th, 2000
Mr. Speaker, I want to make it very clear to the hon. member, as I have to other members, that the department which I head up is the most audited department in the entire government. Every first nation that we do business with as a partner has to submit an audit every year. We use that audit to look at the financial health of the community. With that audit we look at whether we need a management plan to help it with its capacity.
I can tell the House that every first nation in Atlantic Canada has submitted those audits as per our requirements.
