Indeed one of my top worries is what the requests will be and the number and nature of the requests with respect to electoral platform costing. We've had preliminary discussions with representatives of the political parties represented in the House. Indications are that a good proportion of them will be requiring our services when it comes to electoral platform costing.
That being said, whether they'll have a dozen requests or 12 dozen requests still remains to be seen. However, I feel we are properly resourced. We have built up the resources and the capacity, and are still in the process of doing that. We're also developing MOUs, memoranda of understanding, with the public service so we can request their assistance in a confidential manner, so they won't know who the requesting political parties are and they will help us during the electoral costing proposal. That's the number one priority for me, ensuring that we are ready for that.
Number two is being able and well resourced to respond to requests from parliamentarians between now and the election. That should be number one, in fact, because that's here and now. So, that's the top priority for me, being able to respond adequately to requests from members, senators and committees.
Number three is having an institution, the PBO, that is sustainable over the longer term. Once we get past election 2019, whenever that is—October 19, if everything goes according to plan—the priority is that we are able to stay and become a world-class fiscal responsibility office.
