The Department of Finance does produce estimates of Canada's potential output level and its growth rate. They do it historically. They are not publishing this information on a projected basis. We published a paper early this year, led by Mostafa Askari and Chris Matier, that shows how we calculate potential output, what are our assumptions. From that we calculate, just to link to the other conversation, what is the output gap. We use the private sector forecast to see where the economy is projected to be vis-à-vis this potential. We estimate what that output gap is.
