Privacy, it's the new fraud

Via The Retired Educator (formerly Crux of the Matter)

A comment I couldn't post at the originating article:

I think there's a simple answer to the NSERC not revealing the names citing the Privacy Act:

"We are referring this matter to the Justice Department, the Auditor General and the RCMP for further investigation. Have a nice day."

I can't say that they are wrong to stay silent, but they should be doing more to ensure accountability on the grants they distribute.
