The government tabled, in the platform, a commitment to reform the estimates process. The OGGO committee to which Mr. Page and I presented a plan for the reform estimates was accepted by the committee and approved by all parties. There is a blueprint for making this simpler, to help parliamentarians understand departments, not by three high-level votes, but actually by business lines that make sense.
For instance, Fisheries looking at Coast Guard search and rescue, protecting fisheries, things that make sense to you and me, then understanding the performance of those program activities.... Are they over budget or under budget? Are we achieving the outcomes that we talked about earlier? You need to know whether they're achieving the outcomes, and if their variances are positive or negative. If you get that information, then the questions around this table to the minister and to the public servants can have a pinpoint accuracy to them, and a reform should address those issues.
