Parliamentary Budget Officer Supports Informed Debate on Budget 2025

The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) is undertaking extensive analysis of the Government’s 2025 budget. This analysis will be released in the coming weeks to coincide with parliamentary debate and committee study of the budget implementation legislation.

In the meantime, PBO will place a priority on technical questions from parliamentarians and their staff to support their deliberations.

Interim Parliamentary Budget Officer Jason Jacques emphasized the importance of transparency and non-partisan analysis at this critical juncture:

“With significant new spending and shifting fiscal priorities, it is essential that parliamentarians have access to clear, independent and relevant analysis,” said Mr. Jacques. “Our office is committed to providing timely analysis to support parliamentary deliberations.”
