Mr. Chair, I have to respond to that.
We have to be careful. We have looked at programs, and the government is able to talk about how much money was spent and what results were achieved.
The issue here is, broadly, how the federal government can gather the information, consolidate the information, and report back to Canadians about how their money has been spent. And money will be spent again a year, two years from now. Canadians still won't be able to have the answer to your question if you come back with that question two years from now if the system is not put in place. You may want to ask Treasury Board where it's at in terms of building that system, because you won't be able to answer that question in the near future.
