Thank you.
I will have a couple of further questions, but first, Madam Hassard, you have indicated that we anticipate receiving the annual report to the Prime Minister very shortly; it will be tabled this week. Frankly, I look forward to receiving that report as well.
Comments earlier surprised me. A member opposite asked questions about documents from the PCO to cabinet and whether they were either available or could be shared. As you would know, all documents from PCO to cabinet are deemed confidential. So just to be clear on this—I'm sure my colleague actually knows that—this is just to put it on the record.
Madam Meredith, what I am concerned about is this. One of the things we were going to have today was a dialogue with a demographer, to give us a sense basically of the challenges in our population changes—baby boomers retiring and all. That didn't happen, for reasons of scheduling; it means we have a little more quality time with you.
If I have a concern, it's that from what I have read... There are a couple of things: first, that we have a retirement factor: it seems to occur much earlier in the public service of Canada than in the private sector. Are you aware of the details of this, and does it cause you any concern?
