There are a couple of comments I would make on that.
On the notion of offering up additional training or education to members of Parliament, I believe there's a standing offer from Treasury Board Secretariat officials to educate, as best we can, new members in terms of the estimates and the process, and what that means. We're happy to continue to do that as requested.
On the notion of RPPs and estimates, they are there to support the appropriation bills for supply. It's clear that the closer those documents come together, the more helpful they are. Most of the time RPPs follow the main estimates within about a month or so. I think that's a reasonable timeframe to allow committees to do their studies.
On the notion of departmental performance reports, they're a backward-looking document. If you think about the public accounts, and I do have my public accounts colleague with me here, they come out in the fall. Departmental performance reports for each department come out closely on their heels. That's looking backwards to actually get the history of how departments spent their money and all those things.
What drives that process and the time lag, because it is fairly significant after year end, is that we can't issue departmental performance reports until the public accounts are tabled, which means that the audited financial statements of the Government of Canada are done. There's a whole hierarchy that goes there.
I would say that when you're studying RPPs and main estimates and appropriation bills, you do have access to the DPRs for the last completed fiscal year to help inform that study. You can look backwards and see what happened in the last fiscal year that was completed. You have that information.
The other improvement that's been made recently that's helpful is the quarterly financial reports from departments. They now fill a gap. If you're waiting for the current year to end, you can actually look at the first three quarters of the year to inform you about how departments are doing. That, I think, is a helpful thing to look at when you're studying RPPs, main estimates, and the relevant appropriation act.
Sylvain, did you want to add anything on public accounts?
