Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 3 - Vote Accounting and Budget Management
Chapter 4 - Reallocation of Voted Funding

Mr. David Moloney:

As I said, we are looking at planning, decision-making processes and at the public spending code to see what shortening can be done on that. We are doing all of that in the context of where serious concerns have been raised, including by this committee, about value for money and the conduct of certain capital projects. We have a balance to strike. I agree with the Deputy that we want to, and will, exploit every possible opportunity to accelerate and deliver the NDP.
