As you noted, there are three pillars, so to speak, with respect to the mandate of the parliamentary budget officer role. One of them is costing of private members' bills and the point that was made was in terms of trying to do that earlier, and trying to do it in a way that will facilitate the budget process.
So what I was getting at, with respect to that point, is that I think underlying a lot of private members' bills are some very good intentions by parliamentarians to try to improve the lives of Canadians. These bills come at it in very different ways--it could be education, it could be environment, it could be food safety--but I think the underlying priorities for these private members' bills often are quite excellent. We try to provide additional support in a way that could actually perhaps improve working with parliamentarians, could actually improve their understanding of the financial dimensions of this, but perhaps could also give them some background on what other measures are already at play and how we could better implement these types of measures.
I think, if you can create private members' bills that are solid from a policy perspective--that meet the priorities of Canadians--it would be very hard, from the point of view of government, to decide not to look at those very carefully.
