Let me give you an example. In presenting one of her reports last year, the Auditor General told the public accounts committee that she had not been given access to some figures and documents by Treasury Board. I don't remember the exact topic, but she did at least have the power to say in her report that she had not had such access. We asked questions, and learned about it.
Will the Parliamentary Budget Officer have the opportunity to produce similar annual reports, so that any barriers he or she encounters can be mentioned? I believe this would make the process even more transparent, and transparency is something parliamentarians will need.
