Since the electoral period started on August 15, we have received over 100 requests to cost electoral proposals and have returned 75 completed costings to parties. We release these costing estimates on dates selected by the parties that placed the requests.
Today marks the start of Canada’s federal election. Throughout the election campaign, PBO will be publishing independent, non-partisan costing of campaign proposals when asked to do so by political parties.
Over the last few years, PBO published reports covering challenges facing First Nations in health care, child welfare, housing, water and wastewater and education.
Welcome to the parliamentarians of the 44th parliament. The PBO team is dedicated to meeting your financial and economic analysis needs. We are ready to receive your requests.
