Canadians skeptical of budget and foundations
A Canadian reader laments the budget and distrusts politicians. The piece criticizes Paul Martin and Jean Chrétien for large, opaque funds like 2.65 billion for an infrastructure foundation and 9.65 billion in foundations, arguing audits by Sheila Fraser show weak controls and limited public accountability. The author questions the value of Fraser’s recommendations and wonders if she benefits from foundation support.
