Yes cut spending on certain things like salaries of government officials and increase taxes on large corporations

No, they should reduce spending over seas supporting other countries as well as make the wages of government officials reflective of the outcomes they produce. Have a base salary, then bonuses based on how well the economy is running. Earn your wage!

I believe they should make cuts to public spending deemed unnecessary by the people and work more on ensuring the national debt is reduced safely without harming the country's economy and its people.

Just budget more. Instead of spending on the militia, police and other similar services, spent on schooling, healthcare, and tourism. There should be very minimum spending in the immigration sector.

Politicians should have their salaries and benefits dramatically cut. Down to no more than $80k a year until our economy is providing for all citizens.

Drastically lower wages and benefits of government officials and increase taxes on corporations but don't cut Public spending

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…3wks3W

Yes, increase taxes on foreign entities, reduce military spending and police spending, abolish useless government agencies and form several agencies into 1 to save money, restructure our administration system and cut the benefits and salaries of government officials.

I think that the spending has reached a point that it is out of control here in Canada. However, I don't like the idea of necessarily drastically cutting public spending thereby damaging the quality of life for those who need government funded programs and resources. I think there is more of a middle ground based on the question being asked. The national debt is way too high but I wouldn't want to cut costs to necessary programs and things the government spend $ on.
