Do I have any time left? Thank you, Chair.
In November 2006, when the Auditor General tabled her latest report, she also revealed her findings about the expenditure management system and we have had the pleasure of welcoming her several times since then. She said, among other things, that the expenditure management system has become less effective ever since we've had a budget surplus. Do you agree with her?
Mrs. Fraser added that each year the Treasury Board Secretariat updates the funding of existing programs without any systematic review. By the way, I want to thank the researchers of the Library of Parliament who have prepared the document I am using now. I am interested in this matter because I heard Mr. Wouters say that the government has estimated that the implementation of C-11 would cost 60 million dollars per year and that the departments are now making plans for this. Later on, when the budget is updated, will it be done on the basis of a systematic review? Can we expect that? That was my first question relating to the findings of Mrs. Fraser.
