OTTAWA — The Trudeau government’s massive $187-billion infrastructure program will be scrutinized by the office of the auditor general of Canada.
Interim auditor general Sylvain Ricard says his office will endeavour to complete its investigation and report to Parliament no later than next January — as requested in a Conservative motion passed by the House of Commons late last month. The government said at the time that it supported an audit, but most Liberals voted against the motion because it was critical of the government’s lack of transparency and accountability on the file.However, several reports by the parliamentary budget officer have since found that the money is not getting out the door as quickly as intended.
And a Senate committee warned in 2017 that the sprawling program is unfocused and overly complicated, with 31 different departments responsible for doling out funds.
It is certainly time for this to take place as it looks like he had free sailing this time last 4 years.
No big news. The AG is simply doing its job on behalf of Canadians and that’s a good thing. No doubt they will find problems but any AG worth their salt will find problems with anything involving politicians of any stripe.
Let’s review the personal net worths of both Trudeau and Butts in the past 5 year ?
RudyCuzzetto Bored today, Rudy?
RudyCuzzetto 6mos from now, Trudeau: “We need to make sure this type of criminal malfeasance never happens again. I take full responsibility.” “Will you resign?” “Are you kidding? I’m Trudeau.”
RudyCuzzetto Non-confidence vote is desperately needed! TrudeauHasGotToGo
Again a Liberal lie

ppclondonwest Do you really think Sylvain Ricard will scrutinize JustinTrudeau ? Do you think Sylvain Ricard might be a little biased?
I think there is a lot more to scrutinize, wonder if he will ever hand over financials due or if he will talk his way out of it.Scary to wonder the true scope of their spending,fearful for future generations economic future, all I see is taxes, taxes to pay off debt
Oh my goodness, politicians not of ones party doing the same thing your parties politicians did is so horrible!!! The sky is falling!
Why bother? Trudeau government marches on doing whatever they want with complete impunity.
The Post Millennial TPostMillennial An internal document at the Department of Industry said ‘zero’ jobs were found to be created by a $1 billion subsidy.
It's about time!!!
Waiting till next Jan. will leave time for new unsustainable debt Trudeau/Liberals.
about time...this weasel jacobin communist should have a parliamentary petition presented against him to the governor general demanding his resignation and removal by the flat lie royal monarch. The pay off money for propaganda fiasco should be looked at by the justice dept
douche bag
Seems like a good idea to me. Do the government expenses while you’re at it. TrudeauMustResign trudeaumustgo TrudeauWorstPM
