Selecting the next 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.
I asked the Library of Parliament if there’d be any further progress, since the last update, on the selection of the next Parliamentary Budget Officer. Here is the latest.
Following an evaluation of proposals received for the provision of executive search services, the Library issued a contract early last week to the successful bidder, Renaud Foster. The Library also met with the firm to discuss the recruitment strategy and a work plan and timeline which they are now developing. In the interim, the Parliamentary Librarian has begun the process of forming a Selection Committee.
