13-Dec-06. Quebec auditor says millions squandered. Globe and Mail, A4.

According to a provincial auditors report, government-appointed officials who managed Quebec’s horseracing industry squandered millions of dollars in public funds in questionable ways. The “questionable” practices were conducted mostly under the watch of the former Parti Québécois government. Former PQ leader Bernard Landry was finance minister and then premier between 1999 and 2003 and reportedly had close ties to the horse-racing industry.
