Dr. Miche?l Collins:

Yes. My experience with the parliamentary budget office, PBO, is that it has been making great strides in this regard. If anything, it is probably being held back by the need for more staff. There is enthusiasm to begin to figure out how to do these things better and more comprehensively. When we look at similar organisations across the world operating in these parliamentary spaces, it is interesting that the norm in more and more parliaments is for better figures to be available to parliamentarians for their decision-making. We must simply invest more in this area.
