Thank you for that question.
The annual Report on the Public Service Pension Plan indicates that the ratio of pensioners to employees has remained relatively stable over the past 10 years, at around 60%. That figure is expected to hit 65% in the near future, 76% in 5 years and 84% in 10 years.
I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the member that the actuarial report already takes that ratio into account. The most recent actuarial report also shows the progression of the public service. In the long term, the growth of the public service is expected to more or less mirror that of Canada's population. The period I'm referring to is 2018 and beyond.
