The short answer is no. It doesn't.
Again, I go back to that being the reason our office was created. If the government wants to take 10 months before it puts up an Excel spreadsheet that indicates what its deficit estimates are for the next five years, that's great for us. We will go in and fill the space.
Next week, you're going to see a five-year forecast from us. If the government wants to go 12 months without producing a budget, as a citizen I would feel a bit uncomfortable, but as somebody who works in the parliamentary budget office, I would say that's great for us, because we will occupy all of the space it decides to give up.
