Two draft reports from the auditor general raise new questions about how the Conservatives decided to fund projects ahead of last year's G8 summit. Two different drafts of the report were leaked to the press last week.
Both drafts offer details about how nearly $50 million was spent on G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund projects -- 32 in total -- in Huntsville, Ont., and surrounding areas, mostly in the riding of Industry Minister Tony Clement.
The January draft accuses the government of misleading Parliament in order to win approval for the $50 million funding request, and alleges the approval process may have been illegal. Conveniently the final report will not be released until after the election.
This is classic pork barrel government spending.
