The request to the PBO came from Senator Downe. I think it would actually inform our work. There's no reason why this information cannot be provided. But I also take the opportunity to encourage my colleagues in the NDP to continue to support and recognize the hard work of our Canadian Senate. Certainly this is one other example of where we can work together on areas of good public policy, and the chamber of sober second thought can augment our efficacy here in the House. I just wanted to remind my friends and colleagues.
