At the federal level, I don't think the Auditor General is in the best position to do that. It's more a job for my office. In fact, I do plan to do something similar.
Traditionally, my office—or my predecessor—released reports in April and October detailing the economic and fiscal outlook. One is due out later this month and another in April 2019. We plan to update it right before the election campaign as set out in the Parliament of Canada Act, which governs my office.
We're going to issue an update to the April economic and fiscal outlook in late May or early June. My mandate shifts slightly before the election campaign, and at that point, there will be an economic and fiscal outlook update that the political parties can use to draw up their financial framework.
