I'll go back to the line of questioning of Mr. Drouin.
You're going to face some interesting challenges at election time.
In your 2016-2017 report on the activities of the office of the PBO, you state how in real dollars your budget has actually decreased about 13% since 2009, and you only have about half the staffing compared to that under international norms. In fact, your budget is considerably lower than that for just the Province of Ontario. I know you've presented a plan, and I want to congratulate and commend you on proactively posting your plan online. It's a great example for the other departments. Going forward, can you walk us through what you're budgeting for next year, what you're looking for? Do you have a sense of a commitment from the government that we're going to provide these much-needed funds so you can perform all of this valuable work for Canadians, Canadian taxpayers, and members of Parliament?
