Well, it's something that is very concerning, because it goes against what should be.... I think it's detrimental to your work as legislators. It's also detrimental to our work in helping you make sense of public expenditures. I don't think it's good transparency and accountability practice to have the public accounts so late. We still haven't seen them.
In legislation, the government has to table them by December 31. However, if the House is not sitting, they have to table them within 15 sitting days of Parliament in the next year, which could mean February or even later if there are delays in the House coming back. It could be almost a year after the year has ended.
