Committee Report

Forty-third Report

Standing Committee on Public Accounts (PACP)

44th Parliament, 1st Session

Study

Report 6, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, of the 2024 Reports 5 to 7 of the Auditor General of Canada

Given, the Auditor General's audit of Sustainable Development and Technology Canada, and given that government appointed board members approved:

$59 million towards ten ineligible projects;
$76 million towards ninety projects in which board members had conflicts of interest and violated internal conflict of interest policies, and in violation of the Canada Foundation for Sustainable Development Technology Act
$259 million towards ninety-six projects where board members held conflicts of interest; and
$58 million towards projects without ensuring contribution agreement term were met;

the committee therefore expresses extreme concern with the blatant disregard of taxpayer funds, and therefore calls on the Government of Canada to recoup these funds for Canadians taxpayers following the adoption of this motion, and that the committee report this matter to the House.

A copy of the relevant Minutes of Proceedings (Meeting No. 137) is tabled.
