Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' futile fight with the Parliamentary Budget Officer is the umpteenth example of their obsession with secrecy and backroom decision-making with no transparency. Billions of dollars in services are being eliminated, but the Conservatives are refusing to provide information about the cuts.
What are they trying to hide: the dollar value of the looting, the number of jobs lost, the impact on services to Canadians?
Why are they hiding this information?
