Thank you for your message outlining your desire to have the Auditor General report on the G8/G20 meetings made public before Election Day.
I fully agree that Canadians have a right to know what is in the report
before May 2. We have already seen at least two leaks to the media of
details from draft versions. Therefore, we think that it is in the best
interests of all parties involved to clear the air, and only making the
full and final report public would accomplish this.
On April 12, I wrote to Auditor General Sheila Fraser and all Party
leaders proposing a solution to the current impasse. Regretfully, Ms.
Fraser remains entrenched in her position that the final report should
not be released until after the election, as per her April 13 reply to
me. For your interest, I have attached copies of these two letters.
Again, thank you for informing me of your interest to know the truth
about this serious matter.
All the best,
Jack Layton
Leader of Canada's New Democrats
