Information is really power in this regard, and the proposal in Bill C-2 to establish a parliamentary budget officer really gives the capacity to individual members of Parliament and to a committee like this one to be able to hold the government of the day accountable. It's awfully difficult when you've got one member of Parliament, or even one committee, against a $200 billion corporation. So we hope that will provide greater oversight, but I think it's a fair comment, your concern.
