So pensions are of National Security concern to the Harper government

Harper government keeps details on public pensions secret from Auditor General

Michael Ferguson, who asked for an analysis of long-term sustainability, is ‘surprised’ at the scope of information being withheld for reasons of cabinet and budgetary secrecy.

 

OTTAWA — The federal government is withholding information from the Auditor General on the long-term health of public pension plans and tax policy changes, citing cabinet and budgetary secrets.
 

Auditor General Michael Ferguson’s office requested the government conduct an analysis of the long-term sustainability of public pension plans — plans that could prove a “significant risk” to Ottawa’s finances. Treasury Board bureaucrats responded they already do that work, they just refuse to make it public.
 

“Due to cabinet and budget confidentiality, the (Treasury Board) could not share much of its analysis with the Auditor General,” officials wrote in response to the audit.
