Thank you very much.
I always like to qualify some questions for folks back home.
The national debt right now is $1.298 trillion. On the current trajectory, in two weeks or less it will be $1.3 trillion. The forecast in the economic update shows that the cost to service the debt alone is on a trajectory to approach $80 billion within the next five years. When you contrast that with what we collect in GST, I don't think that's even going to get up to $60 billion in that same time frame.
How concerning to Canadians should that level of debt and the interest payment on the debt be?
