If we want to ensure impartiality, there has to be consultation and unanimous consent, and that certainly wasn't done. So I'm concerned. We cherish the hand that feeds us. This has nothing to do with you personally. You were appointed.
In fact, it was the former acting parliamentary budget officer who proposed a process, and it was ultimately ignored. That worries me, because we put a lot of mechanisms, systems and consultations in place and, at the end of the day, a veto was applied. I could even ask various ministers this question. They should have many more opportunities in the sandboxes to make decisions, but in the end, one person decides.
