The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on all federal parties to answer three questions for taxpayers.
Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director with the CTF says, “Politicians need to show taxpayers their plan to repair Canada’s national finances.” The CTF wants to know from politicians: What are you going to do about the $1-trillion federal debt?
Where will you find savings? And, are you going to raise taxes to pay for all the new spending?
Terrazzano says, “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised Canadians he would balance the books in 2019, but it turns out that we will have to wait about 50 years before we see a balanced budget.”
He says  Parliamentary Budget Officer data predicts the federal government won’t balance its budget until 2070.
