Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives already had no qualms about impeding the work of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, but now the Minister of Finance is downright hostile toward him. He is blatantly vindictive because the budget officer dared expose the countless Conservative financial abuses.
Instead of wasting his time publicly fighting an independent auditor, the minister should keep watch over his ranks to make sure that a fiasco like the F-35 boondoggle does not happen again.
Will they stop attacking the budget officer and this neutral institution and protect its long-term viability?
