Although some of the information that the PBO needs to prepare economic and financial analysis is publicly available, most of it is not.
Under the Parliament of Canada Act, the PBO is entitled, by request made to the head of a department or of a parent Crown corporation, to free and timely access to any information under the control of the department or parent Crown corporation that is required for the performance of his mandate.
This section contains the information requests that the PBO has submitted to prepare economic and financial analysis, as well as the responses received.
