Today, the New Democrats are upping the ante with a motion that, if passed, would force the government to show its work by delivering to the House all related annual reports, internal evaluations, Treasury Board submissions and related material by June 17th, at which point the speaker would make arrangements to post the entire collection online.
The NDP proposal would also provide the AG with "all necessary resources to perform an in-depth forensic audit" of the material, which would continue "until the missing $3.1 billion is found and accounted for."
The full text of the motion, which will be debated on Thursday:
House of Commons: MOVED by Mr. Ravignat (Pontiac) NDP
May 7, 2013 -- -- That, in light of $3.1 billion of
missing funds outlined in Chapter Eight of the 2013 Spring Report of the Auditor
General of Canada, an order of the House do issue for the following documents
from 2001 to the present, allowing for redaction based on national security: (a)
all Public Security and Anti-Terrorism annual reports submitted to the Treasury
Board Secretariat; (b) all Treasury Board submissions made as part of the
Initiative; (c) all departmental evaluations of the Initiative; (d) the Treasury
Board corporate database established to monitor funding; that these records be
provided to the House in both official languages by June 17, 2013; that the
Speaker make arrangements for these records to be made available online; and
that the Auditor-General be given all necessary resources to perform an in-depth
forensic audit until the missing $3.1 billion is found and accounted
for.
