Responsible spending is not a one-time exercise. It is the way Canada’s New Government intends to manage tax dollars, year in and year out.
The new Expenditure Management System will make responsible spending the norm for how Canada’s New Government does business. It will require that all new and existing programs go through a
systematic and rigorous examination. This will ensure that this Government only approves funds that are actually needed to achieve measurable results in a way that is effective,
and provides value for money on behalf of Canadians.
