The Auditor General observed cases where a business proposal received funding from more than one government program. In some cases, monies from one program were used as equity to secure funding from a second program. Each department or corporation remains responsible for only its portion of the funding and there is no responsibility for any one entity to play a lead role and monitor all the government's funding or investments in a project. The committee's concern is that multiple dipping and the lack of co-ordination between the different funds makes the overall financial risk to the government greater than it would be if funding came from just one program.
