Ottawa seeks a permanent Parliamentary Budget Officer amid concerns over fiscal oversight and political influence.
Ottawa is seeking a permanent Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) to provide independent, non-partisan analysis of federal budgets and spending, following the interim appointment of Jason Jacques in September 2025.
The role, requiring expertise in fiscal policy, judgment, and discretion, carries a salary of $225,300 to $265,000 and will have applications reviewed starting December 8.
Jacques, a veteran of the office, has criticized the government’s fiscal pace as unsustainable and is eligible to apply.
The Conservatives urge his permanent appointment, citing concerns over political interference, while the government emphasizes the need for an impartial watchdog.
An analysis of the November 4 budget is expected soon.
