I certainly think there is room for improving transparency, especially when it comes to medium-term and longer-term fiscal forecasts.
As I mentioned on a couple of occasions, the budget that was tabled in April lays out a fiscal track, but that fiscal track does not include significant measures that were promised during the last electoral campaign, notably pharmacare and additional funding for mental health. There are also demands when it comes to increasing national defence spending to meet the NATO target of 2% of GDP, and there is tremendous pressure from provinces to significantly increase health care transfers.
All these pressures are there, and I think the government will probably have to either agree to deliver on some of these commitments or else be clear that some of these cannot be met.
