The forecast methodology is another thing I want to talk about.
I looked at the 2011 report, the last one that you did, and you mentioned in there that for the first time you're using your own medium-term economic outlook. You said that previously, and I quote, “PBO had used the average forecasts from Finance Canada's survey of private sector economists to prepare its fiscal projections.”
Your projections are actually about 30% under the average projections of the private sector. No disrespect, but I invest a lot of money, and I would bet on their forecasts over yours, just because they have a hundred people who do what one of your people does—if I know the banks at all.
To be fair, I don't understand why you would change your forecast on that basis to be in essence pessimistic, as has been said; it is nowhere near the average of the private sector people who do this for a living and are very accurate.
