Mr. Speaker, they made the law and we are asking them to start respecting the law.
The Conservatives were forced to come clean on their $10 billion cuts to old age security. They have not learned their lesson. They are still trying to avoid oversight by the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The law clearly gives the PBO access to all government financial data but the Conservatives are hiding behind excuses worthy of a kindergarten playground, not of the Parliament of Canada.
Why will the Prime Minister not co-operate with the Parliamentary Budget Officer? What does the Prime Minister have to hide?
