I think there are good reports that the government publishes. They are bare bones, to be sure, but they could be the foundation of much better reporting. I'm not sure that we should necessarily throw out the process. I think that the report on plans and priorities, for instance, is a good foundational document that could be built out to become much more than it is.
I would argue more for consolidation of the reports that currently exist to, say, one major annual report, which would be the RPPs, for instance, plus some quarterly reporting that ends up in the annual report, in addition to a beefed-up main estimate document. I think the foundations are in place and it's an issue of defining for the bureaucracy what parliamentarians and Canadians want to see out of these reports and what kind of detail they want to see.
I think there's a discussion that could be had with this committee later on, and I would love to see a draft of what these new documents could and should look like. I think you would get a lot of expert advice if you stipulated the template you want to see and how you want this reporting to happen and then looked for comments on a particular new type of document, such as an expanded RPP or a better main estimates document. I think you would get a lot of very good advice on that.
