Minister Brison tables Supplementary Estimates (A), 2017-18
Strengthening the middle class and growing the economy remains the core commitment of the Government of Canada.
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/11/17 -- Today, President of the Treasury Board Scott Brison tabled the 2017-18 Supplementary Estimates (A), seeking Parliament''s approval of important investments in Canadians and their communities.
The government is raising the bar on openness by improving the clarity, coherence and accountability of its spending, to the benefit of parliamentarians and all Canadians.
For the first time, this document includes an online table detailing the activities of organizations participating in horizontal initiatives that span multiple departments. The government has also continued the practice, initiated in 2016, of reconciling funding announced in this year''s Budget with funding requested through this year''s Estimates. This comparison will make it easier for Parliament to track government spending and hold the government to account.
