Mr. Speaker, yesterday the minister had the gall to attack Kevin Page, claiming his reports were “wanting”.
What is left wanting is the Minister of Finance. He has been proven wrong on every major prediction. Just today, Moody's downgraded six Canadian banks.
It is clear the Conservatives want to gut the office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer for one reason: sometimes the truth hurts. Will the minister just admit his plan is to turn the office of the PBO into a Conservative echo chamber?
