I'm glad you brought up the 2015 issue. We actually studied this. The Treasury Board president at the time said that to align the budget with the estimates would be a waste of time and be busywork for MPs, and it would be too difficult to make bureaucrats work over vacation time. I'm glad we've seen some change.
I want to bring up your concern in your report card on public accounts about the discount rate for how they're doing the funded portion of the public service pension plan. It's an issue I've been at for about 15 years now. What do you think of the government's using such a high discount rate for the funded portion but just the lower standard rates for the unfinanced portion of the pension?
