"The Harper government misinformed Parliament to win approval for a $50 million G8 fund that lavished money on dubious projects in a Conservative riding, the auditor general has concluded.

And she suggests the process by which the funding was approved may have been illegal.

The findings are contained in the draft of a confidential report Sheila Fraser was to have tabled in Parliament on April 5. The report analyzed the $ 1-billion cost of staging last June's G8 summit in Ontario cottage country and a subsequent  gathering of G20 leaders in downtown Toronto.*

It was put on ice when the Harper government was defeated and is not due to be released until sometime [AFTER] the May 2 election. However, a Jan. 13 draft of the chapter on the G8 legacy infrastructure fund was obtained  by a supporter of an opposition party and shown to The Canadian Press". - The Canadian Press, April 11th 2011 (re-published in "Ottawa Metro" April 12th 2011).

*Including the infamous '$ 2 million fake lake'.

Federal Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff has asked that the report be released  prior to the May 2nd election. What do you think?

'Harper's government' has made many illegal and embarrassing actions since they have been in power since 2006 (not being present for G8 & G20 pictures in 2008, etc.), or, to be fair, Harper was the one who did most of these things himself...


'Conservatives are better for the economy'? After reading the article above, what do you think?
