Accurate Account

Minister of Finance

Dear Sir,
During Prime Minister Paul Martin’s recent television address to Canadians, he stated that accounting controls would be installed for every Ministry and government department.

I was amazed to learn that controls were not already in place at individual department level. However, I am delighted that Mr. Martin is installing them.

This letter is, with respect, a request for a summary of the proposed bill white paper, and the number designation for the bill.

If departmental controls can be installed by order in council, all the better.
No opposition would dare argue against it. House of Commons debate time and money would be saved.

How promptly your government implements our public revenue safeguards will help us decide how to vote in the next election.


Undecided, TonyGuitar
