The report also indicated that this increase in Unfunded pension liabilities was a result of “poor investments” and “declining discount rates”.

False. It's the result of extravagant pension benefits that no realistic investment strategy could ever hope to cover. Liberal politicians play this game all over the world - they gain immediate vote support by granting luxurious, unaffordable pension benefits that must be paid for long after they themselves have retired. At the end of the day, the bill will come due and governments big and small will find no one willing to lend them money to keep the charade going. It's all going to end very badly.
