I'm glad you said that a plan beats no plan. To highlight that, Nigel Chalk, director of the International Monetary Fund's western hemisphere department, recently lauded Canada's fiscal position as the strongest in the G7. He stated, “In the current circumstances, if you have fiscal space, it's the time to use it.”
I'm going to say it again. During these times of an economic slowdown, is it sound policy to increase spending and investment in order to counter the slowdown and potential economic downturn we could face?
This is the Keynesian in me coming out.
