ANSWERS FOR GDP

Trudeau seen GDP go from 3.0 in 2017 to 1.6 in 2019.

supply chain, reducing gridlock, addressing issues with household debt.

13. GOVERNMENT AND MONETARY
POLICIES
• The government needs to grasp the BOC policies as part of any fiscal management cycle. Trudeau has since
day one increase the budget deficit without addressing key areas impacting supply chain and the
affordability of housing. Trudeau carbon tax had an impact on inflation.
