Kevin Page: Parliamentary Budget Officer

Federal Budget Dept: Kevin Page, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, set the end of business hours on Friday as the final deadline for government departments to report the savings and reduction measures contained in the last budget, according to CBC. "As it is now clear that this matter will constitute the subject of a legal action, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further," Page said in a written statement to News and the federal budget watchdog is ready to sue all federal department heads who are refusing to hand over information about how the cuts announced in March's federal budget will impact them. On Sunday, after six months of requesting this information, Page confirmed his office "will be filing and serving legal notice on all non-compliant Deputy Heads early this week."
