Not the best estimates

In lavish detail, Scott Clark and Peter DeVries explain what’s wrong with federal budget reporting to Parliament.

The reality is that Parliamentarians and Canadians in general are in the dark about what the Government is planning to spend this year. Even worse, the Government is making no effort to clear up the confusion and provide greater transparency and ultimately greater accountability.

    Well when you shuffle the walnuts, you certainly don’t want the rubes to see the pea going up your sleeve!

    I’d say the government is making every effort they can to clear up the confusion, and provide greater transparency.. it’s just they don’t know what the numbers actually are until they pull them out of their arse.. and that’s a messy process, after all.
