Okay, but on that point, page 4 of this report says “under a scenario in which health spending grows in line with only nominal GDP and ageing impacts...the federal and provincial-territorial fiscal gap would be reduced to 1.2 per cent of GDP”. You also go on to say that “significant delays in implementing the required actions substantially increase the amount of corrective measures”.
I guess my frustration here is that I took you very seriously when you produced this report. I think it's an excellent report. Frankly, I'll say as a member of Parliament that I went to the Minister of Finance and others and I said we need to take these issues seriously; the Parliamentary Budget Office has done an excellent report on this, and we need to look at long-term transfers for health care, and we need to look at programs like old age security in terms of long-term sustainability. My view is that in fact the government took your advice.
If I were you, I would have said, “I'd like to thank the government for taking our advice, because we were the ones who highlighted the problems that they are in fact addressing with these two measures.” That's where my frustration is.
