Councillor Steve Desroches had recommended to fellow board members that auditor general Alain Lalonde be asked to probe claims about the contract process that were received in an anonymous letter this month. Desroches said Wednesday that board members agreed to the auditor general’s involvement, and he expects the findings to be received around April or May. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Linda O'Neil<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Public Education Consultant<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Canadian Mental Health Association, Ottawa Branch<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1355 Bank St., Ottawa ON, K1H 8K7<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>loneil@cmhaottawa.ca<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Tel: (613) 737-7791 Ext 135<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
