Fraser's Report Reads Like a Sprawling Political Saga
Auditor General Sheila Fraser denounces a $250 million sponsorship program as grossly mismanaged spending by the Liberal government. The report alleges missing documents, backroom deals, secret accounts, and involvement by high officials across Public Works, Via Rail, Canada Post, and other agencies. Fraser links the scandal to the Quebec sponsorship drive aimed at voter outreach after the 1995 referendum, with elections looming.
