Thank you.
The Treasury Board 2014-15 report on plans and priorities cites five priorities. One of them is to strengthen government financial and expenditure management to support value-for-money ongoing cost containment and increased operational efficiency. One of the stated plans for meeting this priority is to establish a new costing centre of expertise within the secretariat to strengthen its capacity to challenge costs.
When this centre is established, what will be its budget and how many employees will be there? Is this centre something new? Were the costs of the Treasury Board submissions not analyzed before?
