    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a problem with Part (b)(3). I want the Vice-Chair and the House to listen to me. It says: “A public officer or national government entity shall upon request in writing by the Parliamentary Budget Office, provide information in such manner as may be speciﬁed by the Parliamentary Budget Office for the better carrying out of the functions speciﬁed under subsection (1).” If you look at Article 127 of the Constitution that creates the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), it is very specific. The function of the PSC is to deal with the various departments in Parliament and the Accounting Officer is the Clerk. All correspondence to Parliament comes through the office of the Accounting Officer, but that amendment says that anybody can write directly to the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO). That is a misnomer. Maybe through the Chair, we can say that: “A public officer or national Government entity shall upon request in writing by the Parliamentary Budget Office through the Clerk’s Office, provide information in such manner as may be speciﬁed by the Parliamentary Budget Office for the better carrying out of the functions speciﬁed under subsection (1).” The PBO is not an entity of its own in Parliament. It must do its business through the Clerk’s Office, just the way we deal with the Legal and Legislative departments. I can see a contradiction with the functions of the PSC. If you give us a few minutes, we can consult and relook at it. I can go further. Article 127(6)(b) of the Constitution, which creates PSC, says that the Commission is responsible for constituting offices in the parliamentary service and appointing and supervising office holders. So, the function and role of communicating to any entity in Parliament must come through the Clerk’s Office. If, for example, the CRA asks for a request on the Budget, I have no problem. They will prepare, but the route should be through their boss; the Accounting Officer."
