Thanks so much. Thanks for the question.
It's true that the government agrees in principle with that particular recommendation, very much in the spirit that you and other committee members have flagged the desire to have a broader picture of government activities.
The reservation that we've expressed is around the notion of ministerial accountability. At the end of the day the tax system, and tax expenditures in particular, are the responsibility of the Minister of Finance and of the Department of Finance. We think it would be problematic to include the actual tax expenditures in the DPRs and RPPs of individual departments, as those departments and ministers don't have the expertise, know-how, and responsibility to deal with those particular tax expenditures, whereas the Department of Finance does.
That's the gist of our response.
