I’m glad that a former PBO is coming out to criticize the interims language; it’s been shocking to see such brazen and inflammatory language from a supposed expert without really backing it up based on the numbers involved. He seems to be performing for the opposition for the chance to get the job instead of operating as a responsible officer of parliament.
The only reason our gross debt spiked is because of the COVID stimulus, which nearly every other country also did to prevent their economies from collapsing during the pandemic, and a lot of them spent even more as a % of their GDP than Canada did.
The interim PBO is raising hell over that growth in gross debt while conveniently ignoring the fact that canada’s **net** debt is among the lowest in the G7. He clearly has a bias or some kind of hidden agenda.
