- Title
Policy Forum: Public Costing of Party Platforms--Learning from International Experience.
- Authors
Robson, Jennifer; Jarvis, Mark
- Abstract
Canada has now experienced one federal election under a new regime of platform costing by the parliamentary budget officer (PBO). Other countries, with considerably more experience in this regard, have adopted rather different approaches to public costing of party election promises. Discussion of any amendments to Canada's approach should be informed by that international experience. Specifically, some other countries have more clearly articulated the obligations of government departments in platform costing and managed the pressures that come with doing detailed, technical analysis under the time constraints of the writ period.
