Thank you for the question.
I think it sends the wrong message. We've been promised sound fiscal management by this government. We've been promised sound fiscal management for the past 10 years, and we have yet to see it.
At the MEI, we looked into modelling what was going to come, not just until 2030—there's some modelling in the finance department on that—but what was going to happen after 2030. Are we going to be on track to get back to balance?
Unfortunately, when we looked at the pace at which spending is increasing and at all the planned increases that have been promised by this government, the deficit is going to increase to $117 billion in 2035 if nothing gets done. That's about twice as much as what it is today. This is not prudent fiscal management, and it is unfortunately going to keep costing future generations of Canadians even more money in debt interest payments every single year.
