That's a great question.
It's not necessarily about having less reporting. It's that there's a lot of reporting happening at the same time and a lot of duplicate reporting. There's a lot of information on different departmental sites or other sites. What we're trying to do is make sure we eliminate the duplication as much as possible. We're not trying to take away the transparency.
You've kind of said it.... We're always asking for more, but at the same time, we're being asked to table and prepare the public accounts in a faster fashion. Again, right now, we have about 2,500 pages. When I take a look at provincial public accounts, for example, the average is about 450 pages. We're trying to find that balance.
Also, to be fair, for decades we had thresholds on what we reported. For example, on ex gratia payments, we report on a line-by-line item everything that's above $100. Everything below that is grouped together. On this notion of $100, it's not worth the same as it was decades ago, so again it's the materiality of how we report things. That's the type of thing we're trying to look at to gain efficiency, while at the same time making sure we're not going to lose any transparency. That remains available.
