Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What has been said was very interesting.
Listening to Mr. Grewal, I recalled the period when I was Minister of Veterans Affairs Canada. We wanted to implement an annual increase in the amount paid for funeral expenses for veterans who did not have enough money. We had to consider the potential number of veterans who would need the program over a 40-year period. The decision was being made at that time, but it had repercussions for a 40-year period, and so it certainly produced higher figures.
I am going to build on what Mr. Grewal said. In terms of the third pillar, if we adopted estimates accounting, how would you see management of assets and liabilities? I am talking about both tangible assets and the funds for which the government must make provision, for old age security or its employees' pension funds, which were mentioned earlier.
Can you tell me how we could improve the tools that parliamentarians have for making decisions about this?
