When we released the fiscal sustainability report the last time, in January, and the report before that in 2018, they showed clearly that the federal government was on a sustainable track over the next 75 years and that provinces and territories, in aggregate, were not. I expected, maybe naively, that the discussion in the country would probably evolve towards different responsibilities or different sharing of revenues between the federal and provincial governments. That has not happened. The current crisis probably underlines that.
There will still be a need for that discussion, because in the end there is only one taxpayer. If one level of government is sustainable and the others are not, it's about time to have a discussion about the sharing of the fiscal pie and how we can generate revenues and allocate them differently, as well as responsibilities and who is responsible for what.
All that is to say that the suggestions you made all seem to be valid to me to ensure a better financial sustainability for the territories, but it's a policy decision as to which ones are the preferred ones for any particular situation. Nothing you mentioned strikes me as inappropriate or going against that, except maybe increasing the debt limit. If the territory or jurisdiction is unsustainable over the long term, allowing it to borrow even more might not be the solution. It might be a temporary solution, but it's probably not a long-term solution.
