It's difficult for me to answer. We worked collaboratively with the provinces throughout this process. I can't say specifically whether we would have or would not have used any information, but let me go with “no”. While it was a collaborative process, this was analysis that was internal to the Department of Finance Canada. It was our own general equilibrium models and economic models that rendered the results that I spoke to earlier.
