I agree with the Auditor General that new spending is not necessarily aligned with existing spending when new spending proposals come forward. There is also a need to put a system in place that systematically reviews existing spending each year.
I don't think it's possible to review all existing spending every year. The British, for example, review 20% of their spending in-depth to ensure it's aligned to priorities and that they're achieving value for money, and the like. So those are the kinds of proposals we're currently looking at.
