When I tabled this motion.... No, I have not talked to the Parliamentary Budget Officer because I didn't think it would be appropriate to talk to him before I talked to my colleagues on the finance committee. Can I do guarantees based on a private member's motion? No, I don't have that for you, Alain. I'm sorry, I don't.
Again, he has a budget; he has finances at his disposal to use as he sees fit. All we're asking of him is to put a priority on this type of legislation and put his resources toward that. I think that is a good use of his time and a very good use of his resources, and it would be very beneficial for every member of Parliament for him to use his resources accordingly in something like this. It simply formalizes that process.
