Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?

yes. the government should stop spending Canadian's tax dollars on unnecessary things like snap elections

Yes, increase taxes for a short time and reduce government expenditure, wear ever possible and reduce ministers salaries.

No, sometimes it's okay to have debt. You need to have experienced debt to get into certain university courses.

We need to control government spending

Introduce a tax Freeze and only spend what the goverment takes in no borrowing money

No, stop sending money to other nations as pay outs or humanitarian missions

Just stop giving away money to other countries who don't even support us.

they could find a better way

all mps ,mpps and the pm should take a fifty percent pay cut and a reduction in perks until the debt is payed off

Take the carbon tax away

Only focus on spending on the economy and communities and the rest of the money use them toward the dept.

Yes as long as the government does not cut healthcare

yes, stop sending money abroad and bring in immigrants that need public support

Stop giving all our money 5o other countries

Don't pay interest and make sure there's no debt.

This country has been turned into a ponzie scheme that Braganza with Trudeaus father we are dying due to immigration I can’t pay for all of them

Yes and Stop donating to other countries.

Ideally not and I think the answer lies in how we tax major multinationals like Amazon and Walmart. They are literally destroying the local economy and even more so since the pandemic.

No, But abolish all foreign aid until Canada has a surplus of funds.

Eventually, yes. We should attract tax experts to work at the CRA by offering them high salaries and the cost of employing them will be repaid since tax revenues from better enforcement of current tax rules should substantially increase.

Increase public spending but redirect direct payments toward infrastructure development.

Reduce foreign aid and focus more on people in need in Canada

No, make cuts to supporting other countries

Only if public spending was recently successful and its product is long-lasting or durable.

No, and do not raise taxes on the wealthy as that isn’t fair.

No - It should reduce the amount paid in foreign aid and to criminals.

yes but raise the taxes for the wealthy

Tax the rich and reduce politicians salaries/no raises

Make cuts to the government’s already high wages...

Yes, and cut unnecessary jobs in the public sector.

No, but cut environmental funding

This question is not relevant to me individually

Depends on what and why. Use the right tool for the right job.

no, don't vote in politicians that will blow-out the country/provinces money

No, but they should spend the money more wisely

No, but increase taxes on large corporations and lower salaries of government officials

focus on lowering taxes and have the government spend less of the people's money

Stop international handouts to other countries

Due to unnecessary, sporadic spending by the current government, I cannot make an answer

Make cuts, re-allocate funds, adjust salaries and benefits of government workers (but not drastically)

Fair cuts to public spending until our national debt will not further build

only cut some public spending on not needed programs

Yes, public spending should be prioritized. Logically, essential servives are first priority. ie: Art is not an essential service ;)

I think the government needs to stop sending so much money to other countries our debt is lowered. When a person owes a lot of money, they need to curb their spending, our government needs to do the same.

The government spends foolishly so yes make cuts. Let citizens decide where the money goes from there paycheque.stop throwing money to the indigenous as that is not solving anything. Stop spending on immigrants who live off of the system. Stop throwing money at things that not help the whole economy

Somewhat yes, there are way too many outs for free compensation. But the multinational corporations definitely need there tax loopholes revoked and must pay a higher tax.

I do not understand the question

I would say Yes, but it depends what of public spending is compromised. Solutions such as increasing taxes on the rich or on corporations also work instead of compromising spending.

Defund the police

The government should start limiting social assistance payments to only people that are not fit to work.

Yes, and reduce military spending, increase taxes on large multi national corporations and slightly increase taxes on the wealthy

Good question could not tell you

Some cuts but it should be made but not all

They should lower emergency spending gradually, as well as, taxing the 1% and lowering government officials salaries.

Our country will never get out of debt.

No, stop sending so much money overseas to fund abortion, or fund terrorism
