The Committee of Senior Budget Officials launched the Speakers Series on The Future of Public Spending in December 2022.  The aim is to broaden the discussion of the critical issues involved and the challenging decisions ahead by seeking perspectives from beyond the Committee.  Eminent speakers from outside government are invited to share their thoughts in an open and public forum.
