Yes, Madam Chair.
If I still have time, I will share it with Mrs. Shanahan.
Mr. Brison, like Mr. Blaney, I'm very interested in correcting many of the mistakes that we inherited from the previous government. We've made over 300 promises. We've done many of them over the course of the first six months, but I know there are so many more errors that we need to correct, not only in official languages but in many areas.
At the same time, and with so many new programs, I do want to make sure that we don't make matters worse. I want to have an understanding on how we are going to have quantitative metrics associated with programs and products that we develop for constituents. The particular question that I want to know the answer to is whether these performance metrics are going to be developed by Treasury Board in some type of a strategic plan, or whether they are going to be developed independently by the parliamentary budget officer and reported that way. I don't mean to be too partisan about it, but I'm trying to create a stick to beat myself with. I want to know how we're going to have metrics to make sure the government can be held to account.
