Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Hawkins on October 12, 2005, regarding a task force on year-end expenditures.
I will not be establishing a task force to review year-end spending by departments. However, I do share the Member's concerns and have sent a letter to all Ministers
directing them to ensure departments monitor and control discretionary spending during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
