 Misquoted
The Ottawa Citizen completely mis-quoted my letter to the City of Ottawa&#8217;s Auditor General.
The Citizen’s headline “No audit for South March development” is inaccurate –development in the South March Highlands has already been audited as part of the AG’s review of the Development Review Process and the City’s performance has already been found questionable.  [...]]]></description>
