Who is Responsible? Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities (Gomery Commission) |
| This Inquiry has arisen as a result of the significant concerns
raised in the Report of the Auditor General to the House of Commons with
respect to the sponsorship program and advertising activities of the Government
of Canada. According to her Report, there were failures of internal control
systems, a lack of appropriate documentation justifying material expenditures
of public money, the payment of large sums of money to private parties with no
apparent value being received in return, a systematic disregard of the
applicable rules including those contained in the Financial Administration Act,
a lack of competition in the selection of advertising agencies, and a general
bypassing of Parliament. |
|
| The Commission was given a double mandate. The first requires the
Commission to make a factual inquiry, to investigate and report on questions
raised, directly or indirectly, by Chapters 3 and 4 of the November 2003 Report
of the Auditor General of Canada. The second mandate calls upon the Commission to make recommendations to the Government of Canada, based upon its findings of fact, to prevent mismanagement of sponsorship programs and advertising activities in the future The Commission was given a broad discretion to investigate any circumstances it considers relevant to fulfilling its mandate. John Gomery, a Justice of the Superior Court of Quebec for more than 21 years, was appointed to head the Commission. |
 |
| Justice Gomery proposed to submit two Reports to the Governor in
Council. Commissioner`s Phase I Report – Fact Finding was released on November 1, 2005. The report will be available in two formats: |
