Thank you for being here again. It's great to see you.
In your PBO report, you touch on real GDP. As you know well, when you're looking at a country's fiscal position, reviewing it relative to its peers' is incredibly important, because it gives the appropriate context for the macro global economic environment.
For 2026, you rightly point out that real GDP is projected to rise by 1.1%, followed by 1.6% in 2027. The IMF expects Canada to have the second-strongest economy this year among G7 countries, after the United States. In addition, external forecasts from the OECD suggest that Canada is expected to grow at the second-fastest pace in the G7 this year and next.
Does the PBO analysis show a similar pattern of relative strength?
