Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

11:50 am

Mr. Brian Purcell:

The audit report did not actually cover the figures. There was no breakdown for hospitality. It was included in a list that informed the committee that some of these costs were administrative. It was not the amount that was issued - it was the nature of the costs and whether they would be included in a category or heading that would not be considered appropriate for application.
