House of Commons committees

[Topaz]

The committees that debate the spending of the federal government wants changes to the way business is done. They say that the information of how and where the government spends its money or the busget should be changes so they have time to debate it because lately, they get info. too late. Even Tories ,on the committees, say they would like to see changes made so they could get the info early like Feb. 1st instead in March. They also want to debate of giving the PBO more power to do his job. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/wonky-parliamentary-rules-keep-mps-blind-government-spending-090007180.html

Do you even understand what committees do or are you just having a knee-jerk reaction to a Leftist poster?

Yes-- a committee dealing with anything political is a group of spenders of taxpayers money who have no more idea what to do about anything other than leech public money for their own pockets. Committees are usually made up of politician's relatives or people to which politicians owe favors. They investigate ways to hide their personal take and decide nothing.

They are useless & a waste of taxpayer dollars.

There's only one political body that can spend taxpayers money and it's not committees. Clearly, you have absolutely no idea what committees are or what they do.

They, as I stated, are part of or have influence with the people who do authorize spending and usually end up in agreement with the most costly way to do something.

Name ONE good decision by a committee that wasn't agreed upon before the committee was formed.
