Mr. Speaker, I have to agree to disagree with this particular member with regard to his thoughts on what the Auditor General is saying.
However, let us try to move forward in terms of how we prevent these type of events from occurring in the future.
The Liberal Party has been suggesting that we need to look at ways to move toward program-based appropriations, something our former parliamentary budget officer, Kevin Page, suggested we move toward and something we want to propose as an amendment to the motion itself.
My question to the member is this. From his perspective, or in his own personal opinion, does he not believe that at the very least we should be sending a very strong message today that we need to look at the way we are reporting and move toward program-based appropriations? Would the member agree with that?
