"A recent analysis by the C.D. Howe Institute paints a sobering picture. Accounting for recent policy decisions—including the cancellation of the capital gains tax, the reduction in the first income tax bracket to XX percent, the removal of the GST for first-time homebuyers, the shelving of the digital services tax, and a range of platform commitments—the deficit for this fiscal year could exceed $XX billion. Next year, it may approach $XX billion. These levels, if sustained, would push the net-debt-to-GDP ratio from its current level of roughly XX percent to over XX percent by 2028."
