New Brunswick's auditor general says she's now overseeing a review of the province's property assessment fiasco after she raised concerns about a retired judge's possible "lack of independence." - Kim MacPherson, auditor generalMacPherson had decided to audit the numbers at the same time retired justice Joseph Robertson was conducting his review. Former New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Joseph Robertson said if he had known the auditor general was taking on the review, he never would have agreed to do it. Under Section 12 of the Auditor General Act, MacPherson can issue subpoenas for potential witnesses and documents. "We didn't know the auditor general was going to do that kind of work," he said.
