I'm happy to respond to that one, Mr. Albas.
To recap some of the material that I think has already been covered today, in order to respond very directly to the comments in the Auditor General's report, we will be adding those two additional years of cost projections. What that will do is give those two forward-looking years that move beyond the backward and the present, and we'll be able to have some forward projections for a couple of years, subject to any caveats that are necessary about the robustness of those estimates.
We'll also undertake to provide additional information on government spending programs so that we can add that into the companion document, the somewhat more in-depth explanatory document that accompanies the tax expenditures. Also, we'll try to provide links to relevant programs, so that when individuals do go to look at the tax expenditures they'll be able to undertake a comprehensive approach. For example, if you look at information about the scientific research and experimental development tax credit, there could also be information then directing you to certain programs that are offered by Industry Canada that also target research and development. That would be an obvious one to add there.
We've also certainly committed to the ongoing monitoring of tax expenditures and to undertake that in a more formalized systematic process. That will help to inform the breadth and depth of our analysis. Where possible gaps are identified, we'll be able to move to address those gaps more quickly by undertaking relevant evaluation reports.
Finally, I would note that we certainly are committed to continuing to publish pertinent information. In recent years, we've been able to publish at least two evaluations per year over the recent past, and we would certainly like to be able to continue to do that going forward, providing that kind of robust analysis and quality information and making that available to the public and parliamentarians.
