In my opinion, the working group provides a very targeted, calculated reminder every week we meet to every minister around that table, and as a result every minister at cabinet, that it is the responsibility of every minister to make sure that their people are paid on time. We ask deputies for updates on what they're doing in their department and what kinds of resources they could be committing. Ministers are expected to know numbers in terms of what their department is looking at: are the numbers headed in the right direction, and if not, why?
It does add a level of accountability and awareness that is significant, I would say.
