You may understand some of our frustration, because this isn't the first time this committee has studied this process. In fact, I think the committee has studied it at least three times. Every time we do so, we hit a culture that is hesitant to change. I'll give you an example of part of that culture in the way you answered the question with regard to tax expenditures. If I understand your answer correctly, it's that the expertise doesn't exist in the different departments in order to do this, but it exists in finance. If we make this change, it would be clear that this expertise would have to exist in the ministry.
What I'd really like you to do is try to think about whether it would be positive if we did this. Would it be a positive change? What we're concerned about is that we can't tie certain tax expenditures, or we can only tie them with a lot of difficulty, to the different departments and ministries. I'd like to turn your negative into a positive. Could you think about whether it would provide us with better information if we did this? Maybe not, but I think the onus is on you to tell us whether or not it would be a positive change.
Thank you.
