$50 BILLION SLUSH FUND Is Vote 50 Giant Slush Fund? CPC Hammers Frozen Funds & Creative Accounting!

Meeting No. 29 – Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates (OGGO) Transparency & Accountability Under Fire Thursday, February 26, 2026 | West Block, Room 225-A, Ottawa In this explosive OGGO meeting, Conservative MPs and others dive deep into the government's lack of transparency, hammering witnesses and officials on frozen funds, creative accounting tactics, and questionable spending practices. The spotlight falls on the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), who faces tough, direct questioning about fiscal accountability and whether certain large allocations—most notably Vote 50 (a $50 billion envelope)—function as a de facto "slush fund" with limited oversight or justification. OGGO Chair Kelly McCauley doesn't hold back, point-blank asking if Vote 50 represents opaque, unaccountable spending hidden behind vague categories and delayed reporting. Exchanges reveal frustrations over frozen appropriations, shifting numbers, and the erosion of parliamentary scrutiny in a high-spending environment. Raw, no-holds-barred moments expose deep concerns about fiscal transparency and taxpayer trust!
