If there are some other suggestions, some other recommendations that you might consider--not as a replacement, but potentially to complement, supplement, whatever--I think the committee would be pleased to hear them.
The government has put in an expenditure plan, and I think it's long overdue, simply because we have to have a process to review expenditures in order to get out deficiencies, cut the dead wood and the waste out of there. The Auditor General has identified eleven departments with action plans that are now addressing the specific deficiencies that exist within departments, yet we still have a few departments remaining that are in the process and are bringing forward potential dates for completion.
I would like to know, have they given you specific deadlines for the time when they expect the implementation to be delivered? In other words, is it an open-ended “We hope to have it in place”, or is it “We will have it in place by a specific date”?
