I also have another return, Mr. Speaker, asked by Mr. Picco on June 3, 1997, Penalty for Contravening the Financial Administration Act. On June 3, 1996 Mr. Picco asked if there was a penalty for circumventing the Financial Administration Act. Offences and punishment are addressed in sections 105 and 106 of the Act. Section 106 specifies that:

"Every public officer or other person who wilfully contravenes this Act or the regulations is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both." Thank you.
