Every thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice; nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion and publicity: Lord Acton

Here's the Auditor General's report as leaked by the Conservatives.

It is less damning than the earlier draft leaked by a bureaucrat but it still shows remarkable laxity in spending millions of dollars.

Basically, $50,000,000 was spent in Huntsville without controls. Imagine what that money could have done in downtown Oshawa, or Hamilton, or Sudbury?

A "lack of transparency" is an understatement -- there are no records to explain how the projects were picked -- all we know is the choices were political.
