Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'll see if I need to use all of my time, because I know you need some time at the end.
Mr. Robson, in the brief you sent our committee a couple of weeks ago, you did raise the concern about the average citizen's ability to follow the government's spending and how this actually has an impact on their ability to know how their tax dollars are being spent. We've also talked about the need for legislators to understand the financial statements. I did appreciate the report card when it came to the various provinces across our country, and I'm very pleased to see where my province of Saskatchewan landed on your report card.
I also want to refer back to something you said in your opening remarks. You indicated that Canada is in a good place in relation to some other countries, and Mr. Giroux, earlier in the meeting, agreed that it was feasible to ask for more detailed information from governments.
I'm going to pose a question for both of you. I'm just wondering if you could point us in the direction of any other jurisdictions we should be looking at for perhaps some best practices, or better practices than we are using today, to ensure we are getting the kind of information we need as legislators and our citizens actually know how their tax dollars are being spent.
