The overriding concern for the standing committee on finance is to have a clear indication of what our long-term financial obligations are. You cannot build a house without a blueprint. You cannot develop a government without a plan. It appeared to us on a number of occasions when departments came forward -- and we will address them in resolution form as they do come forward -- that half of them did not have any plans. It seemed to be done on an ad hoc basis with little or no thought given to what the long-term financial obligations were to this government. This is one of the reasons for this resolution.
In keeping with Mr. Gargan, the other reason was to ensure that our previous or prior commitments should be fulfilled. We have a resolution to this effect later on in this session. Thank you.
