The waiting game continues for British Columbians, anxious to learn why taxpayers covered $6-million worth of legal fees, to convicted criminals Dave Basi and Bob Virk.

Auditor General John Doyle promised to deliver his findings before he left for a new job in Australia this month.   Last month, staff with his office said his long-awaited review could not be released during the campaign for the May 14th provincial election.

Now, they're saying Doyle's final report won't be ready until July.

In January, a B.C. Supreme Court judge denied him access to certain documents subject to lawyer-client privilege.

Virk and Basi were ministerial aides who pleaded guilty to corruption charges linked to the sale of B.C. Rail nearly ten years ago.
