Fiscal Policy Overview
The deficit in 2019-20 was $12.2 billion By August 2020,the deficit was $24 billion, one of the largest in Canada, and the total deficit was $99.6 billion Depending on whether the reader is conservative, liberal or apolitical, one can argue, or counter argue deficit spending.

But irrespective of the political position, anybody will agree that chronic deficits indicate an underlying and fundamental issue that needs the attention of the people. Secondly, who will finally bear the burden of all these debts? Will it be the future generation? Or will it be the rich? Or will it be the Canadian dollar, and exporters?
