Thank you very much.
My first question will be directed to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
You've spoken publicly about the late filing of public accounts and the impact that has on Parliament being able to adequately evaluate government spending in a timely way.
Bill C-8 proposes over $2 billion in spending for COVID supports for the provinces. We in the NDP believe there should be timely reporting to Canadians on how that money is being spent, the equipment being purchased and how it's all being disbursed. This could be accomplished by tabling a quarterly report in the House of Commons.
What kind of information do you think would be helpful in such a report to help parliamentarians and Canadians understand how this money is being spent?
