I'll start by reasserting my utmost respect for Jason Jacques, Yves Giroux and Kevin Page, who built the office.
Regarding independent analysis, and especially if government rejects the bureau's advice and analysis if they don't align with its own, my office would rely largely on transparency to solve these issues. Thanks to decades of work, I have a huge network of economists both in Canada and abroad. I look forward to presenting them with the office's forecasts and analysis to foster a good public debate in the event there's a divergence of analysis. This would be done to support you and keep these issues on the front burner.
