An audit has been done. The government has it, they have not made it public.

The Band's auditors provided the financial reporting as requested by their client (Spence). The gvt can (and do) demand opportunity to audit the books of a company/group as well and will often question the logic of the accounting group that provided the original reports.

In the end, the principle is no different than Enron and how they got in trouble... They too had a large accounting firm do their books (read: audit) but upon further analysis, the IRS uncovered enough to sink the entire company.

Ultimately, if Spence has nothing to hide, this would be a non-issue; but seeing that she is willing to camp-out on an island outside Ottawa and starve herself (as per her 'hunger strike'), it's pretty much a slam dunk that she is got something that she doesn't want the auditors finding out

The Idle no more movement is against raping the land for money, or did you not know this.

You people only see money.
And locutus shopping centres and cigarette shops and casinos do not produce slag and damage to water and soil .

Just read the black parts. It makes life easier and settles the mind.

"These amendments do not force first nations to do anything. They only make it easier for those who want to lease land to do so. And only leasing is involved; the rules governing sales of reserve land remain unchanged".

Christ, I wish people would read the fu cking links provided.

An audit has been done, the government has that audit. The government has not released the results of that audit.

Read this:
Audits question Ottawa's oversight of first-nations infrastructure - The Globe and Mail

"Even as Prime Minister Stephen Harper accuses the Attawapiskat First Nations of mismanaging federal funds, the internal audits posted recently suggest the criticism could apply to the federal bureaucracy as well.

The audits say there are “significant gaps” in how the on-reserve infrastructure funding is controlled, and that the financial reporting system is riddled with inconsistencies.

The audit of on-reserve community infrastructure says targets, standards and compliance systems are often ignored or inconsistently applied, leaving the government with an unclear picture of how well its money is working."


Gvt's audit will make clear what the 'significant gaps' are and where the money is..... Until the Band (read: Chief Spence) cooperates to shed some light of these 'significant gaps' gvt will keep digging and digging and digging... The point is, this is an ongoing process and teh audit will take a long time to complete unless Spence et al decide to facilitate the issue (that is when she's not too busy hunger striking).

When it gets to that point it's a sport called Spastics.

Yup. Indian and Northern Affairs had it done but there are things in a basic audit that may look above board but still require a forensics audit to uncover shenanigans.

If a forensics audit were to happen, it would uncover said shenanigans AND uncover those who are stroking the Rez for money who aren't part of Council which is the type of thing that can destroy a community.

We'll have to wait and see how far this goes.

All things that screw you legally are passed into law locutes.
Your quoting legal jargon, but in the end who sells out.
Oh all legal of course.
People with their heads up their arses always hide behind the law.

Hell, how many laws are there that allow companies to pollute for almost free.

A question: Did the computer (and presumably the home in which it is located) contribute any of these heinous pollutants that is strangling ole Mother Gaia?

Aren't YOU really the problem here?

I know what Petros is going on about. Mostly it is "Look at that flying pig over there". To use solid wood and be thermally efficient the walls would have to be about a foot thick. Other wise you couldn't pump heat into those shacks fast enough to take your parka off. The ones he posted have about 3 in thick walls. Might do for a summer cabin at the lake in florida. I also have serious reservations about the roof taking the snow load. These shacks are about the size of a small house trailer. There are better options.

So many photo ops with this woman eh. Justin (Peter Pan) T., most of the dippers. They be lovin' it.

Freeloaders do tend to band together.

The consequence is enormous.
The Chiefs get power to sign and sell out. They reap the graft and sell out the land to mining companies, and logging companies.
The land is ruined, poisoned for generations.

A way of life fast tracked to hell.

These bills are a cancer to those who wish to save the land.

Is this your first visit to Canada?

Oh here we go, where I have seen this tactic before.

Do you always brush your defeats under the rug like this.

If you haven't noticed this thread has waxed and waned over these issues .

You know it and i know it that Harper is white washing the environment in much the same way as the DRILL DRILL DRILLL crowd down south.

The push is on, and without the Idle No More , and the occupy wall street movements there is no opposition that works.

Do we really need this push to rape our land.

Is Canada to be a slag heap ?

The right wing nut cases are having their day. The brainwashed masses like our southern neighbours who don't want medi care, are funding them and voting them in power.

The left wing nut cases can't unite under one banner like Harper did when he conned the head of the conservative party.

All thats left is the street. The cold, sane street.

I read the links. Nowhere did I see any mention of doing a proper audit. And I don't mean the accounting firm hired by the band to look over the books. To do a proper forensic audit for that size of organization would probably take a team of bean counters 3 months to do.
