Dog Running Canadian Sponsorship Scandal (report and key findings)

http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/groupaction/

Key findings

Main points

quote:


On Feb. 10, 2004, federal Auditor General Sheila Fraser released the hotly-anticipated results of her audit of the controversial government advertising and sponsorship program run by the federal Public Works Department.

She found that $100 million was paid to a variety of communications agencies in the form of fees and commissions and said the program was basically designed to generate commissions for these companies rather than to produce any benefit for Canadians.

The program has been in the spotlight since 2002, when Fraser recommended the RCMP investigate how $1.6 million in federal government advertising contracts were handed out to a Montreal ad agency. Officials in Canada's Public Works Department "broke just about every rule in the book" when it came to awarding contracts to Groupaction Inc., Fraser said.

Opposition critics allege the program was used to award lucrative advertising contracts to Liberal party supporters.



Its nice to see canadian money being put to good use

thats an alternative, not a solution.

I dont want another Brian mulroney not a Kim Campbell as federal government. Voting Steven Harper is asking for one.

Even though there are scandals in this country, i still think liberal is the way to go as the middle of the road option since there are many socialists in the country, many conservatives in the country. The liberal party meets the needs of both political stances as its in between being very leftist, and very rightist.

I would not vote for Harper, and i would not vote for that new NDP guy either.

eh critizing Canada is no fun.

Stick to bashing the US government - you'll get better threads.
