For projection purposes, I would think most of the information for projections going forward on corporate profits would be kept within the Department of Finance, perhaps used to brief the finance minister and the Prime Minister in the context of these projections and a potential scenario analysis. I think in conversations with private sector forecasters as well, this information would be exchanged to better understand what the average private sector forecast is and how it changes from forecast to forecast.
