Adrift without an Anchor: Federal Fiscal Policy and Canada’s Long-Term Debt Ratio finds that that there is a 44 per cent chance that the federal debt to GDP ratio will increase by 2036-37, and a 59 per cent chance it will increase by 2046-47—meaning the federal government would fail to stick to its core fiscal goal.
