2000 October Report of the Auditor General of Canada

October 2000 Report—Chapter 11

Exhibit 11.8—Project Completed Before Contribution Agreement Signed—Jerseyman's Island Cod Farm, Newfoundland

The Minister approved the project on 28 October 1999 and the agreement was signed on 8 November 1999 - after the project had been completed. The funding period was from 8 November 1999 to 11 December 1999 and HRDC paid the full amount of the contribution ($15,000) on 30 November 1999.

The Department's view is that the project expenditures were incurred after the Minister's approval and before the release of funds by HRDC on 30 November 1999.

Supporting documentation provided to us was for expenditures incurred before the funding period. This project had been funded earlier under TJF.
