Investigation · Spending News package Not a finished investigation

Promised in the House, missing on paper: a $2.1-billion commitment, 44 contracts, three disclosures

The pledge was made at the podium on a Tuesday. By Friday it had a program entry in the Gazette. Then the money moved — and the paper trail thinned to three disclosures spread across forty-four contract entries.

On the record

We traced the commitment from Question Period through the Canada Gazette, the proactive-disclosure registry and committee evidence. Where the record agrees with the podium, we say so. Where it goes quiet, we show you the exact entry where the silence begins.
