Mr. Speaker, the provinces are not responsible for the management of public funds of the federal government. That is the responsibility of the federal government.
In committee a few years ago, the member gave an excellent suggestion on managing public finances better. The member from the Liberal Party suggested that a road map was needed to determine the finances that go into a department, what is spent and whether objectives are identified and met at the other end. The government should listen to its own member and implement that excellent suggestion. If that took place, every ministry would work better and more effectively on behalf of the public.
