I have already met with the Parliamentary Budget Officer. We have discussed ways we could probably collaborate together in the future on some of the work we're doing, especially to make sure that we don't duplicate work.
I gave him one piece of advice. He has a very large mandate. I asked him how he is going to deal with requests from members of Parliament. He needs to be very clear with parliamentarians about what requests he will accept and what requests he may not, about priorities, and about how he is going to deal with all of that. That can become a very slippery slope for anyone in that position. I think that would be good.
I know he's already talked about how he's going to plan his work. He's discussed with us how we do ours. I think he'd like to use a similar approach. So we are going to collaborate and certainly show him how we handle those sorts of issues. I said that the best thing for him would be to understand how he wants to do this, and then to be quite transparent, and have good discussions with members too, as to how he's going to approach this.
