"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5372910\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, our government respects the work of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. In fact, I spoke with him earlier today, and I discussed with him the fact that this is the first time ever that when MPs are voting on the main estimates, they will know, initiative by initiative, where the budget money is going. This is a huge step forward in terms of parliamentary oversight.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5372911\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We have been very clear that the government is bound by the amounts listed in the allocation for each budget initiative, for instance in Table A2.11. To increase any of these initiatives would require further approval by Parliament through the supplementary estimates process.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5372912\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will continue to raise the bar on openness--</p>",

D'ailleurs, plus t\u00f4t aujourd'hui, j'ai discut\u00e9 avec lui du fait qu'il s'agit de la premi\u00e8re fois que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s sauront o\u00f9 iront les sommes pr\u00e9vues dans le budget pour chaque initiative lorsqu'ils voteront sur le Budget principal des d\u00e9penses. Il s'agit d'un \u00e9norme pas en avant sur le plan de la surveillance parlementaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5372911\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous avons indiqu\u00e9 tr\u00e8s clairement que le gouvernement est tenu de respecter les montants allou\u00e9s pour chaque initiative budg\u00e9taire, notamment dans le tableau A2.11. Toute augmentation de ces montants n\u00e9cessiterait l'approbation du Parlement dans le cadre du processus du Budget suppl\u00e9mentaire des d\u00e9penses.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5372912\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous continuerons de relever la barre en mati\u00e8re d'ouverture...</p>"
