It's an absolutely staggering amount, and I think what's so eye-watering is that it's not just where the debt is now, but where the debt is going under current projections laid out in the last budget.
I mentioned the PBO. I think many Canadians are rightly very concerned about the financial burden that they are leaving to future generations. Right now, debt per person is about $30,000. Under current projections, over the next five decades that could be all the way up to $67,000. Many people are worried about the financial tab they're leaving to their kids and grandkids, and I think that's something the government needs to take seriously.
