Ottawa’s $45.7-million G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund did not have to be spent on projects that were directly linked to the meeting of world leaders in Muskoka.
“We wanted to ensure that we put a good face on Canada,” Conservative candidate John Baird said at a news conference. Mr. Baird said the money was used in part to build or improve on infrastructure linked directly to the summit, while the rest of the fund was a gift to the region.
