Here's what I got from it:

"By creating this new fund, which will require manpower for oversight and distribution, we were able to successfully spend more than the amount of the fines themselves solely on future wages for hundreds of new employees. We expect the fine money to be expended as such in less than 5 years, after which all said employees will retain their suddenly-functionless positions within the government as an additional tax burden on the Canadian people. Of course, on paper all distributions of the fines will have been in seemingly-appropriate manners, such as giving cash to special-interest groups and large corporations to finance kickbacks and thinly-veiled bribes to Canadian officials... but you'll have to work hard to discover those distributions, because they will be made at our discretion without notice to the Canadian people."
