In 2006, when the Conservatives promised to ensure truth in budgeting with a Parliamentary Budget Authority. The authority would “provide objective analysis directly to Parliament about the state of the nation’s finances and trends in the national economy,” said the Tories’ election platform.

Now the Conservative Party of Canada won't live up to their requirement to “provide accurate, timely information to the Parliamentary Budget Authority.”

Why? Any lingering Conservative supporters willing to take a try at explaining why the Conservative Party needs SECRECY to function?
