Mr. Speaker, we have many ways of reporting to Parliament, including the estimates, quarterly reports and the public accounts.

We want a Parliamentary Budget Officer who is non-partisan and a credible source of opinion on fiscal matters. The Parliamentary Librarian has retained a search firm, and we look forward to a new Parliamentary Budget Officer in due course.
