Sure.
My question is about gross debt numbers as a percentage of GDP. If you combine federal, provincial, and municipal debt, according to the Department of Finance figures Canada is at an 82.5% debt-to-GDP ratio. This is actually higher than that of the U.S., which is at 75.5%; higher than that of the U.K., which is at 72%.
With public debt levels climbing at all levels, and with the aging demographic and the rising social costs, what should the government prioritize now: deficit reduction or tax reduction?
