You might be able to provide me with some guidance on a point that I did not see in your documents.
I have seen a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on an actuarial surplus of $19 billion. That was attributed to the federal government. This figure of $19 billion is purely a book-keeping exercise.
When I see a government accumulating budgetary surpluses during a time of deficit, it reminds me a little bit of the grasshopper who spent the summer singing while the ant was working.
When the government operates this way, what are the long-term impacts? Was this evaluated by the government before the $19 billion were attributed?
