I have another question, which I could have put to the Bank of Canada officials, but I'm going to take advantage of the fact that you are here and ask you.
We can see a fairly significant difference in the GDP growth projections. The bank forecasted a GDP increase of 1.2% in 2019, as compared with 1.8% projected by private sector economists. In fact, 1.8% is what the government used in its 2019 budget. To my mind, 0.6 percentage points remains a pretty big difference. You are the parliamentary budget officer, and you projected a 1.6% increase in GDP.
Could you please explain to parliamentarians how GDP growth projections can be so different? It does, after all, have a major impact on overall economic forecasts.
