A progress report from the PBO
Here at Maclean's, we appreciate the written word. And we appreciate you, the reader. We are always looking for ways to create a better user experience for you and wanted to try out a new functionality that provides you with a reading experience in which the words and fonts take centre stage. We believe you'll appreciate the clean, white layout as you read our feature articles. But we don't want to force it on you and it's completely optional. Click "View in Clean Reading Mode" on any article if you want to try it out. Once there, you can click "Go back to regular view" at the top or bottom of the article to return to the regular layout.
The office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer has produced a chart to explain which departments have complied with his request for information about budget cuts, which departments have promised to comply by this week’s deadline and which departments have not confirmed that they will be providing information.
So far, 19 departments have provided the information, 43 have said that they will and 20 remain unaccounted for.
