Honourable senators, my question is also for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. It’s about the Public Accounts of Canada for the year that ended eight months ago. The public accounts, as you know, include information from the audited financial statements of the government and other relevant financial information. The government has now introduced an appropriation bill requesting additional money. Yet, the public accounts from March 31, 2021, are still not available. Can you tell me where the public accounts are and when can we expect them to be released?

It’s been eight months, and we’ve been asked to approve an appropriation bill. There is information in the public accounts that we need in order to complete our review of the appropriation bill. However, there is a commitment there, not only to table the public accounts, but also to produce an accountability report on the debt of Canada. As you know, the government has assumed a lot of debt in the last several years. When can we expect to see that debt management report because that is also eight months old?
