[CHIMO]

The auditor that examines things found that from 1995 to about 2002 there was $100 million that could not be traced according to the required paper work. Paul Martin, the last prime minister was now the leader of the government and decided to make an issue of this to get rid of the previous prime ministers influence(Who happened to have beat him in the previous leadership for the party).

So after having taken over all the local ridings he became Mr. Clean, out to clean things up.

But instead it has come back to haunt him. Something that would have easily been swept under the rug in the overall nature of things.

The money was supposed to go against fighting the separatists in Quebec but when everyone got their hands into the pie it ended up in different places. So there is presently a government commission looking into the matter and to present its findings in the spring of next year.
