The good Auditor-General, Sheila Fraser, was the one who opened this can of worms that we now know is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of our nation, and the Gomery Inquiry is now the center of our attention. At the time she first announced it, she said, “This is such a blatant misuse of public funds. It is shocking…Words escape me.” When one imagines that those were the words of a well-respected, seasoned auditor, well it speaks volumes.
Another Liberal scandal which nobody talks about is the liberal-left’s treasonous willingness to leave our nation open to security risks, even in this era of global terrorist activity. Coincidentally, it’s the good Auditor-General Sheila Fraser who once again focuses our attention on the scandal (though she naturally doesn’t call it a scandal), today, with the release of another of her juicy reports.
OTTAWA (CP) – Three and a half years after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, airport screeners are letting fake bombs and guns get through security and the Public Safety Department still doesn’t know who would be in charge in a disaster, Auditor General Sheila Fraser said Tuesday.
In her latest report, Fraser said there are still major gaps in emergency planning and air security.
“There are some serious weaknesses that are left, areas that need to be looked at,” she said.
Fraser has pointed out similar problems in past reports.
“Last year, I said Sept. 11, 2001, changed our perception of how safe we are and led to higher expectations for our security,” she said. “The government still has work to do to meet those expectations.”
Conservative MP Peter MacKay said Fraser’s findings show the government and Anne McLellan, the minister of public safety, are failing to deal with national security problems.
“The minister of public safety and public announcements and press releases is really, I think, letting down the Canadian side and we’re not meeting our obligations,” he said.
[…] Among other things, Fraser found that training to prepare police, firefighters and medical personnel to deal with chemical, biological or nuclear disasters is woefully behind. The government estimated it needed to train 6,000 people, but only about 200 are up to scratch.
She said Transport Canada doesn’t know how well airport security systems work.
[…] And a plan to buy 10 million doses of smallpox vaccine only scrounged up 5.7 million doses. The plan is to water down the serum if there’s an outbreak.
