Madam Speaker, I was pleased to listen to the hon. member's speech and I want him to expand a little bit on the fact that while we were away working in our constituencies, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, an independent officer of this place, essentially declared that the Liberal job numbers in the budget were completed fabricated. What the Liberals presented was 40% overblown, and they would only present two years of financial data, not the five years that our government and all governments had done for the last number of decades. They were forced to release that data on a Friday afternoon.
The PBO indicated there was purposeful action to frustrate legislators in this place from being able to scrutinize the spending plans of the government.
Perhaps the hon. member could expand on what the PBO said about the budget and, quite frankly, how disappointed he might be, as I am, with the Liberals' lack of transparency in presenting it.
