‘Rules were broken' over G8/G20 summit spending: Auditor-General

Speaking to the House of Commons public accounts committee about his spring report, interim Auditor-General John Wiersema scolded the Conservative government for a “one-of-a-kind” situation unlike anything he has ever seen in his 33 years working in the A-G’s office.

The interim A-G said he?s ?very concerned? that no government documents exist to explain how the Conservatives selected 32 municipal projects in Clement?s Parry Sound-Muskoka riding that were included in a $50-million G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund.

?Supporting documentation is important for transparency and accountability,? he said.

The $50-million was spent in the lead-up to the summit on a variety of projects ranging from the construction of a gazebo, public washrooms and sidewalk upgrades many kilometres from the G8 event site in Huntsville.
