Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, before the recent election the government's financial situation was known to be serious, but not as serious as the press has alleged. Normally, it takes several months after the end of the fiscal year before the public accounts are completed and the true financial position of the Government is know, and then the information is some six months old.
I would like to ask the Minister of Finance to provide this Assembly with an interim unaudited financial report to the end of February 1992, with estimates for the balance of the 1991-92 year, showing the spending by departments compared to their approved budgets.
Mr. Speaker, I am also requesting that this Assembly be provided with an explanation of any overexpenditures by departments in this current fiscal year.
