There is a template. You can find it on the website of the Government of Canada. If you look at it, the template is the Expert Panel on Equalization and Territorial Formula Financing. There is a report that it published in May 2006. The panel was appointed by Paul Martin, and the chair was Al O'Brien from the University of Alberta.
You can see that they explain at the beginning of the report how they were appointed and the work they did. I think this could be a template for future expert panels, because I think this expert panel, in terms of the depth and quality of the report they submitted, is really a template that we could certainly reuse to address new fiscal challenges and issues, including some of the ones you mentioned today.
