“Madam Speaker, I hardly agree with the parliamentary secretary about this being good from an economic perspective, but I guess it is good from the economic perspective of bureaucrats and bloated government. I wonder if he is aware of the six separate entities specifically designed to monitor, support and ensure treaty implementation. He can nod if he knows these ones: the modern treaty implementation office, the assessment of modern treaty implications office, the performance management framework, the modern treaty management environment, the deputy ministers’ oversight committee and the reconciliation secretariat. I am wondering if the member could elaborate on these other aspects that are about doing the same job.”

Madam Speaker, Reasoning · 121 wordslet us follow the same logic and principle and apply it to the Auditor General of Canada.Much of the work done by the Auditor General of Canada is done in different ways by different departments.1Would the member be advocating that we get rid of the Auditor General of Canada because it is a huge bureaucracy?I suspect not, or at least I would hope not.At the end of the day, the difference is that this would be an independent agent of Parliament.2That is the significant difference.I would ask the member opposite whether he believes that independent agents of Parliament provide a worthwhile service to the House of Commons and to Parliament.I would argue they do.
