The independent Parliamentary Budget Office says the federal government is now running a permanent deficit that can only be eliminated by raising taxes or cutting spending (UD: последнее невозможное дело в Канаде).
Perhaps more importantly, though, Mr. Page believes that the deficit can be eliminated only with "significant discretionary actions", the least painful of which, in his view and the view of other private sector economists, would be to increase the country's consumption tax -- the GST. The Conservatives, since taking office in 2006, have cut the GST by two percentage points... (UD: Такие деньги мимо уходят, понятное дело обидно).
Ms. McKay said that the Parliamentary Budget Office is also worried that employment insurance premiums may not be enough to return that fund to a surplus position, raising the prospect of increases in premiums -- paid by all employees and their employers -- to keep the EI system working (UI: Ну вот, наконец раскололись как будет выглядеть это всеобщее EI, опять же вывод о необходимости повышения GST напрашивается сам собой)
