In reporting on the government’s spending estimates for the 2023-24 fiscal year that begins April 1, Giroux said his analysis of the data from the past four years “shows that, on average, nearly a quarter of targets are not met annually. Moreover, a tenth of targets do not have available results and a further third have results to be achieved in the future. Consequently, less than 50% of targets are consistently met within the same year.
Giroux predicts the federal deficit in 2023-24 will be $43.1 billion, an increase of 41% from the $30.6 billion deficit the Trudeau government predicted in its fall economic statement in November.
