The Muskoka spending was particularly controversial, as Canada's auditor-general at the time declared "rules were broken" over both the G8 and G20 summit spending; but he called special attention to the "32 municipal projects" that were greenlit in Muskoka from the coffers of a $50 million "G8 Legacy Fund," meant to repay the cottage-country community that hosted the disruptive summit. These 32 projects were in Tony Clement's riding (he is the current President of the Treasury Board), and apparently "then-infrastructure minister John Baird approved the funding based on the advice of Clement."
