Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think it is really important for the record to point out that one does not preclude the other, because the Parliamentary Budget Officer is not just a witness. I would think it would be very uncommon or questionable if we said that we liked one witness and wanted their testimony brought to the House of Commons.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer reports to Parliament; that's his job. This is a different factor in comparison to a professor or somebody from a company or an NGO with regard to whom we would try to extract testimony for the study. It's a simple thing to ask Parliament to reflect on the report of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Then there will be the full report with all the witness testimony. That's really important, I think, for the public to know.
