Thank you.
From the beginning of the Parliament, in all of the presentations and documents prepared for the President of the Treasury Board's discussion of changes to the estimates, there was no discussion of having a central vote. A central vote seems to actually be about solving a different problem. It's not about information for parliamentarians. Rather, it's about accelerating the time between the announced funding for a program and getting that program delivered. This is why I think it stands to reason that the idea of a central vote didn't come up in those documents. At what point did Treasury Board begin contemplating the idea of having one central vote for all the new budget initiatives?
