Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, and thank you all for being here.
Mr. Page, you said three days ago that Parliament is at risk of losing control of its responsibility as gatekeeper of public spending because MPs are in the dark when they rubber-stamp government policies and plans. I would like to ask you if you could expand on that. Beyond simply criminal justice bills, in all the other aspects of legislation we're dealing with, how have we lost control of the spending that we're approving?
