82% Informative

This fiscal year ( 2024-25 ), the Trudeau government will run a projected $39.8 billion budget deficit.

The government also plans to continue its string of deficits up to 2028-29 .

Federal gross debt has nearly doubled from $1.1 trillion in 2015-16 to an expected $2 trillion in 2024-25 .

By reducing annual program spending (total spending minus debt interest) over two years , the government could balance the budget.
