Mr. Mulcair: Do you understand, Mr. Young, that there is a substantial difference between the researchers who work for you — the 100-some-odd people, including 30 people who are economists, who do research for us; I have had a bill costed for me, they come up with great work; I have nothing but the greatest admiration for them — and the Parliamentary Budget Officer, who has his own place in the statute, where it is clearly provided by Parliament that he has a mandate; not you, him.
M. Mulcair : Comprenez-vous, monsieur Young, qu’il existe une différence substantielle entre les quelque 100 attachés de recherche qui travaillent pour vous — dont 30 économistes — et effectuent des recherches pour nous. J’ai demandé à ce qu’on établisse les coûts d’un projet de loi, et ils ont accompli un excellent travail.
