Steinbach City Council's decision this week to nix plans for a Performing Arts Centre has raised the question of what happened to the $5 million announced for this project by the former NDP government.
In January of 2016, a letter was presented to Steinbach Mayor Chris Goertzen from an NDP MLA committing $5 million towards this project. But Steinbach MLA Kelvin Goertzen says that money actually didn't exist.
He says when provincial and federal governments grant money, the process includes approval by Treasury Board and also at Cabinet. But Goertzen says that $5 million announced in 2016 didn't pass through Treasury Board and didn't go through Cabinet. In other words, a fund had never been established.
Goertzen says they have discovered the former government made more than $1 billion worth of these phony announcements.
