Thank you for your question on transparency. That is a good question. I would like to take 30 seconds to explain what we went through regarding transparency during that time.
When we saw that the budget contained only a two-year plan and not a five-year plan, as is normally the case, we were surprised. We had no idea this would happen.
The second surprise was actually pleasant, because we asked for the figures and we received them for a five-year period. Transparency certainly became more real than it was before.
The third surprise was to be told, when we received these figures a few days later, that we could not use them. We went through something of a cycle, namely pleasant surprises, less pleasant ones, and finally, following an official request, obtaining the data.
There may have been some lack of transparency at the outset. After that, the government realized that it was not being transparent. The fact that we obtained the figures we asked for satisfied us because that enables us to inform Parliament on the state of the five-year plan.
That said, pretty much everyone should perhaps learn something about transparency, whether we are talking about the government or anyone doing financial planning. Over the coming months we will see in the updates and in other documents whether that element of surprise will be eliminated and whether the PBO will always be happy to have those figures.
Mr. Matier can answer your previous question right away, if you like.
