I guess the short answer to that is no. The government has recorded the liability under generally accepted accounting principles for all its pensions, including veterans, which was a change that was made a couple of years ago. They're all fully recorded and disclosed in the financial statements. In fact, Canada is one of the few countries that actually does that. I think the fact that they're there means they're being managed.
On November 20th, 2007. See this statement in context.
