The man who was finance minister at the same time of the HRDC boondoggle, Shawinigate, the Gun Registry and AdScam, yet he was unaware?
OT: You do know the scope of the Finance Minister's job, right? He drafts the budget and assigns funding to various departments; he has no control over how the ministers and heads of those departments use their funding.

Nor is it the Finance Minister's responsibility to monitor each department's spending and make sure our tax dollars are being used appropriately. That's the role of the Auditor General.
