As we all know, time and time again, that budgets
aren’t drafted overnight. It takes
many months and planning, Mr. Speaker, and many months and planning without Members that just show up on our desks before they need to be approved.
That said, the reality is the public service, the management, the bureaucracy, you name it, they’ve spent many months of planning. I am asking about what exercises are being drafted now for consideration going forward. Yes, these budget exercises may be the final ultimate decision of the 18th Assembly and when it rolls in, minus a couple of
Members, it might be a reflection of what’s here today. The reality is the work is being done today, and
that’s what I’m asking.
What work is being done? What type of transparency is being conveyed to the public service as these lists are being cobbled? Thank you.
