Expenditure Review
In December 2003, the Government of Canada established the Expenditure Review Committee to review all government spending to ensure value for taxpayers' money, and to reallocate the savings to fund higher priority programs and services, such as health care, early childhood development, a new deal for communities and the environment.
Among other initiatives, Budget 2005 changes the way the Government of Canada purchases goods and services and manages office properties. It commits the government to savings of $2.5 billion in procurement and $925 million in real property over five years, and commits PWGSC to saving $93 million on it operations. This is in keeping with PWGSC's major transformation agenda — The Way Forward — that will enable us to deliver services smarter, faster and at a reduced cost.
