Mr. Speaker, today the Auditor General released his report reviewing government expenditures and operations.
As vice-chair of the public accounts committee, it will be my and my colleagues' duty on that committee to review and make recommendations to this House on how to improve the way governments do business.
While the opposition may magnify government misspending, we in the government party realize a more mature approach is to consult with the bureaucracy in order to resolve these problems.
One of the areas that was reviewed was that of our prison system. I would like to report that I attended Millhaven penitentiary only yesterday in an attempt to understand how our system could become more cost effective.
I believe if the opposition parties took the time to see first hand how taxpayer dollars were being spent they could made recommendations that were more practical.
