Federal Accountability Act

On 2006-04-11, Canada's new government tabled the Federal Accountability Act, designed to provide the Canadian taxpayer with a more efficient and ethical government. In doing so, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is delivering on one of his five major priorities. While it should thoroughly review the proposed legislation, the Opposition would be best served by being generally supportive of the bill. Interested readers should take the time to become familiar with the Federal Accountability Act and provide feedback as necessary. More thorough analysis of the Federal Accountability Act's provisions will be provided as the debate continues during this Parliamentary session.
