COMMITTEE MOTION 123-17(5): ANNUAL DATE TO PROVIDE INTERIM PUBLIC ACCOUNTS, CARRIED

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of motions. I move that this committee again recommends that the Minister of Finance provide the committee with the interim public accounts by August 31st of each year in time for committee review of the government’s business plans.

Thank you. Motion is on the floor and being distributed. Motion is in order. To the motion. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to make a brief comment here. The committee has found, as we’ve reviewed public accounts over the last couple of years, that Finance has done a good job at getting the public accounts ready earlier and earlier each year, and they were able to get us the interim public accounts prior to August 31st in 2014 and we simply wanted to reiterate that this is an excellent practice and we want to make sure that Finance continues to do that in years going forward. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion.
