Sir, you've been here in front of this committee now about 20 times since I've been here. I always welcome your testimony and your insights. I feel we're always better off when you come here. You always carry yourself with the highest integrity—with pride—and I know that your reputation is very important to you. Your word carries a lot of weight.
My Conservative colleagues are trying to transform the Parliamentary Budget Officer into the political budgetary officer. This is dangerous.
I want to ask you.... They say that you've been gagged. Sir, have you been gagged by this government?
