moved for leave to introduce Bill C-245, an act to amend the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act (review of budget speech).
Madam Speaker, I am most pleased to rise and table this document with the House. It amends the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act. Its intent is to review the revenue estimates provided to the people of this country and my colleagues through the budget process. In years gone by revenues have been largely inflated and we feel a more accurate assessment of whether they should be is necessary. This bill will take care of that.
