AnswerView source ↗
I do not have my file, but I will answer the question. I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) I hereby table an executive summary of the business case, which is also available on the internet site of the Office of Shared Services. The full document remains a document of cabinet and is therefore not available for public release. (2) As the Department of Treasury and Finance was represented on the Functional Review Taskforce, its views were taken into account during the development of the proposal. No separate analysis and advice was provided. [See paper 2589.]
