I'm not an expert on the government accounting systems. Maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe it's all being filed away on paper somewhere. I think what is clear is that this amount of detail, and much more detail, is routinely available for much smaller organizations, whether it's private sector or public sector at other levels of government.
It's not clear to me why it shouldn't or couldn't be made available to parliamentarians. It certainly is my hope that ministers at the top of these departments are seeing much more detail than parliamentarians are seeing. Otherwise, there is a really serious oversight problem in terms of trying to figure out how this money is spent.
