Toutefois, M. Massé semble vouloir se reposer sur ses lauriers: il a dit que c'était fini, les compressions, et effectivement, cette année, si on excepte le budget de la Défense qui écope de 600 millions de dollars, le ministre n'a pas scruté bien fort dans les 42 milliards de dollars de dépenses non statutaires: il semble être satisfait de la ge
stion budgétaire du ministère des Affaires du Nord, de celui des Travaux publics et Approvisionnements, de celui du Développement industriel, de celui des agences de développement régional, de celui des Ressources humaines, qui est censé remettre aux provinces les programmes de main-d'oeuvre, mai
...[+++]s qui en invente de nouveaux à la place.Mr. Mas
sé seems to want to rest on his laurels. However, he said tha
t there would be no more cuts and in fact, this year, with the exception of the Department of National Defence, which saw its budget cut b
y $600 million, the minister did not look too hard at the $42 billion in non-statutory spending. He seems satisfied with the budget performance of the Department of
Indian and Northern Affairs ...[+++], Public Works and Government Services, industrial development, the regional development agencies, and the Department of Human Resources Development, which is supposed to give labour force programs back to the provinces, but which is inventing new ones instead.
