The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

Thank you, madam.

Does anyone want to speak? Mr. St-Jean?

I wonder why it's taking so long to correct this situation. When I was a member of the opposition, from 1988 to 1993, we were talking about doing then. At the time, we were told that it would be done. However, that is still not the case. I've heard a lot of theories on the subject, but I would find it interesting if you explained to us why.

I've heard about this accrual accounting. I know what it is. It's been talked about around this place forever.

Mr. St-Jean is next.
