Written Question 9-18(2): 2015-2015 Public Accounts

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Finance regarding the public accounts for the fiscal year 2014-2015.

Can the Minister confirm that government spending on infrastructure exceeded the operating surplus, as per page 8 of the non-consolidated public accounts?

What are the consequences for government not adhering to its own Fiscal Responsibility Policy by failing to finance infrastructure from 50 per cent of the operating surplus?

What is the cost of the additional borrowing required for infrastructure funding in that year?

Can the Minister commit to make the reporting on adherence to the Fiscal Responsibility Policy available in plain language within three months of the review of the public account?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
