Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Both the International Monetary Fund and Moody's Investors Service have again expressed concern about overspending by the Canadian government. It is not just the size of the deficit and the debt that worries the money markets. It is also their concern that the federal government seems to lack the ability or the tools to control overspending.
What plans, if any, does the government have to strengthen the capacities of the Treasury Board, of departmental managers, of Parliament itself to control federal overspending?
