    As reported in the National Post April 1999, then Auditor General Denis Desautels warned that the Indian Affairs department risked
    compounding existing poverty and despair on native reserves by failing to account for how money is being spent. He also added, "the
    department is not taking adequate steps to ensure that allegations of wrongdoing, including complaints and disputes related to funding
    arrangements, are appropriately resolved." As far back as 1996 Desautels complained about "severe deficiencies in Ottawa’s system of
    monitoring funds spend on reserves for welfare, education, housing, and economic development."   Canadian Taxpayers Federation
