Strahl identifies areas where oversight and audits are called for: "misappropriation, lax reporting and — in rare cases — fraud."<BR/><BR/>The$6 billion figure cited in the article is different from the $10 billion cited by Poilievre. Which is correct? There's a $4 billion difference.<BR/><BR/>When Poilievre came out with his ill-advised comment, some well-informed people said that of the $10 billion he spoke of, only $4 billion actually reached the First Nations. The rest, it was stated, is gobbled up in the INAC bureaucracy. <BR/><BR/>If this is true and more than half of the money never leaves Ottawa, why isn't Strahl including a wasteful and bloated federal bureaucracy in the areas worthy of audits?<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-9549586160569720172008-06-23T09:08:00.000-04:002008-06-23T09:08:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.northwestern_ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833632861345350726noreply@blogger.com
