Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to speak briefly in regard to the motion. I will honestly say that I believe the motion will help start a process where we will fix the FAA; that's the Financial Administration Act. I believe that our present government, although a minority government and also known as a consensus government, does act and govern like a majority government, although the numbers are quite the opposite, maybe Ottawa can take lessons from how our government as a minority government governs as if it is a majority government.
Mr. Speaker, this motion will say that they need to consult more. Mr. Speaker, earlier I had asked informally to someone on the government side about having a mini session in August so we could have further consultation and more public process on these types of issues, such as special warrants and supplementary appropriations, because we need to get them out in the public eye. We need to have them debated sooner. It's been almost five months since the end of our June session, so we haven't seen bills asking for money for that period. So they just kind of show up on our desk just before session here in August, long after most of money has been spent. We need to include a process. This motion starts to fix that problem in the process and I agree with the process. Long after this money is spent, we have very little to say other than try to say no. If we say no it creates ripples and I don't think that's appropriate. So this motion will amend, in my mind, or I should say start amending the Financial Administration Act, which is truly the number one process that needs to be corrected. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
