Questions about a secret $475,000 trust fund created for the former prime minister and the fate of his fashionable Ottawa home are unanswered a year after Diefenbaker was laid to rest at the University of Saskatchewan.

Counselled by Toronto Lawyer Beverley Matthews, the four executors and the two remaining trustees refuse to answer questions about the fund that was invested initially in low interest savings bonds nearly 20 years ago. “If the fund was invested well enough, I figure the fund should be about $350,000 larger than it really is,” said one source. “It’s obvious they don’t want to talk about where some of the money went. There is either money missing or they are incompetent investers.” The entire controversy could be settled in Sep- tember when a Toronto judge conducts a “passing of accounts” to dispense with the estate. But critics believe the questions of the trust fund may never be an- swered.
