In your report you also say that the PBO requested details regarding how the government intends to achieve its planned operating budget freeze over the projection period. However, the government has indicated that this information is a cabinet confidence and will not be released to the public.
You're an officer of Parliament. We're parliamentarians, and ultimately, Parliament holds the purse strings of government. That's been the role of Parliament in terms of accountability.
