   The Wynne government and the Auditor General, and the Financial   
   Accountability Office, have been disputing the size of the deficit.   
      
   At the root of the issue is whether or not the surpluses in pension plans   
   where the government can be responsible for a shortfall can be counted as   
   government assets.   
      
   But it's a very short step from counting a pension surplus as an asset to   
   actually taking the funds.   
      
   The biggest surpluses in question belong to OPSEU, the Ontario Public   
   Service Employee's Union, and to the OTPP, the Ontario Teachers' Pension   
   Plan.   
      
   Yesterday, the largest teacher's union endorsed the NDP.   
      
   I suspect that this may not be a complete coincidence.
