Thank you.

In 2022-23, the Government of Canada requested $443.3 billion in authorities: an increase of 6.8% over 2021-22, but a decrease of 6.6% compared with 2020-21. In your view, is this level of spending consistent with Canada's fiscal anchor, that is, to reduce the debt-to-gross domestic-product ratio?
