It seems as though we've got a little bit of a theme going on here today, whether we talk about the long-gun registry or about the leased office space and the native issues: poor planning in terms of structure, in terms of systems, combined with a total lack of any semblance of stewardship or respect for tax dollars.
I want to talk a little bit about the acquisition of leased office space. In section 7 you refer to gaps in the financial and management information systems. You refer to accrual versus cash accounting as a real problem there. The one that gets me is the blurred responsibility here, the responsibility for office accommodation shared between Public Works, client departments, and the Treasury Board. It seems to me that this would be a recipe for a lot of problems of accountability, right?
