Report of the Auditor General of Canada to the House of Commons

Chapter 1: Expenditures for the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits
Chapter 2: G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund

In June 2010, Canada hosted the G8 and G20 summits.

The Group of Eight Heads of State (G8) met in Huntsville, Ontario, on 25 and 26 June to discuss issues of mutual and global concern. This was immediately followed by the meetings of the Heads of State or Government of the G20 Countries and their finance ministers, in Toronto, to discuss topics pertaining to international finance matters.

We examined the development of financial plans and budgets, funding requests, and recording of expenditures for the G8 and G20 summits, and whether the amounts spent were used for the intended purposes – for security, policing, organizing, and hosting of the summits. We did not examine the effectiveness of the summits or the appropriateness of the level of security or hosting provided, nor did we question the merit of goods and services identified by summit planners as requirements.

Audit work on the G8 Legacy Infrastructure Fund is the subject of Chapter 2 of this report.
Audit work for this chapter was substantially completed on 17 December 2010.
