Critical Analysis — What This Bill Actually Does
Budget Implementation Act 2017 No. 1. Among fiscal provisions, it created the Parliamentary Budget Officer as an independent officer of Parliament and amended the Parliament of Canada Act. It also contained the Infrastructure Bank Act, establishing a $35 billion entity with significant autonomy. Both were consequential institutional changes embedded in budget legislation.
