Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux adjusts his glasses as he waits to appear before the Senate Committee on National Finance, Tuesday, October 17, 2023 in Ottawa. Giroux is projecting inflation will return to the Bank of Canada's two per cent target by the end of the year and the federal deficit will grow amid weakening economic conditions.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer’s analysis of federal carbon pricing is reportedly the subject of a “fight” with the Liberal government that includes allegations of “secret data” being withheld. So it seems a profoundly important conversation has veered very far off course.
