What I said in my remarks is that I believe the government should submit a cost estimate with every bill before it gets to second reading and that the Parliamentary Budget Officer should have as one of his functions an evaluation of those cost estimates. That would, I believe, over time encourage the government to produce better cost estimates and would give you, through the Parliamentary Budget Officer's critique, a better way of critiquing them.
I think that's very possible. I think it can be done through changes to Standing Orders, and I would like to see this committee as a whole recommend that. I can see you disagreeing on some things, but some of those proposals that I suggested are for the benefit of both sides and for all Canadians. I have an enormous sympathy with that concern; it's bothered me for years, I must say.
