I want to get back to one of the things I bring up every year. I'm sure you're ready for it.
We always hear the government claim that our net debt-to-GDP is the best in the G7. We brought up before with you, several years ago, that it includes the assets from the CPP and the Quebec pension plan. I notice that this year's public accounts—it's the first time I've seen it—state that this should not generally be considered part of this because you can't access them without permission from the provinces.
Do you still think it's valid for the government to include CPP and QPP as part of its net...or its claims of lowest deficit-to-GDP in the G7?
