Government complains about unspent funds

In the most recent copy of Frontline magazine, author Ken Pole starts off his article, Unspent Funds... Again,  by saying,

"A familiar problem continues to plague the Department of National Defence - its inability to spend its budget in any given fiscal year due to contract complications and mismanagement, delivery delays or, most disturbingly, the government policy which complicates or eliminates options for carrying forward funds."

Amazing, just amazing.  The complaint is that DND does not spend all the money it is allocated.  And this when the government is trying to focus on value over spending.  Maybe we need to revisit zero-based budgeting?
