Capital Supply Service and Purpose Report Bill 2023: Discussion
Mr. Jim Power:
Yes. I am not saying that would be a stick with which to beat somebody because there may be a very good reason the investment is occurring, but having the data and information out there as to where exactly the money is going and for what purposes is incredibly important. As Deputy Shanahan mentioned, I think it enhances democracy. It gives voters and taxpayers a greater sense of transparency as to where their money is being spent and what is being achieved as a result of that.
