My question is for the Department of Finance, still regarding income splitting.
While going over your information, you said there was no need to conduct an analysis to identify the long-term impacts. You have not documented that data, but the information provided by your department indicates that the pension income gap between men and women is a current, past and future reality.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer has conducted a simple analysis referred to as the valuation of the L variable, which indicated that the gap will not decrease or disappear, but rather increase.
Your own information indicates that this gap will continue to exist, yet you are telling us that it will disappear within 10 years. How do you explain that contradiction?
