Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Fréchette. It is an honour to meet you and your team. Thank you for joining us this morning.
Last fall, in 2016, we debated some reforms of the main estimates a little. We did so without focusing on whether the figures or the accounting methods were exact and without discussing all those questions of a technical nature. Instead, from a more philosophic perspective, we spent time discussing whether the reforms would actually reduce the time allocated to members to scrutinize government spending in depth.
In your opinion, if these reforms were adopted, would that actually reduce the time allowed to scrutinize the expenditures?
