Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page: The Government

Partial Analysis Dept: Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page posted a partial analysis on the government's $5.2 billion spending cuts plan Tuesday, but said a complete report that would be useful to parliamentarians is impossible because he just hasn't been given enough information, according to CTV. We're just saying show us the plan. This is not just a PBO issue, Parliament needs to see this and if they do see it and start scrutinize these plans, the chance of hitting objectives goes up, he said and oTTAWA -- Canada's budget watchdog will not issue a mid-year report on the Harper government's finances, citing lack of co-operation from the vast majority of departments. He is seeking legal advice on whether he can sue Ottawa for the information, saying he will have an opinion this month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
