Answer:
Each year the Minister of Finance proposes a budget to the Legislative Assembly. Estimates on the anticipated expenditures for each ministry and agency are tabled so that members may review in detail each minister's budget. This process occurs primarily in the policy field and House committees and consists of the minister and his/her officials responding to questions from committee members before the funds requested are granted. The estimates for Executive Council, for which the Premier is responsible, are considered in the Committee of Finance.
The Assembly has the right to deny the amounts requested or to reduce the budget as it sees fit. This process is known as grievance before supply and dates back to the beginning of parliament when control of the purse strings was wrested away from the king.
Once the Assembly and its committees have concluded their consideration of the estimates, an appropriation Bill is introduced to grant the approved funding. The government has no authority to spend public money until this process is completed, unless the Assembly allows temporary financing by passing interim supply Bills.
The Assembly's financial role also includes the oversight of expenditures. After funding is approved, the audit process begins. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, the government must table the public accounts. The members' review of the books is aided by the Provincial Auditor, an Officer of the Assembly, who issues formal reports. All these publications are referred to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, which determines whether the expenditures were made with proper legislative authority and with value for the money spent. The Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies conducts a similar review of the activities of Saskatchewan's Crown corporations.
