Description

In recent years, the subject of the government's debt has become more prominent in discussions on public finances. People are concerned by the size of the debt and its growth. Various governments in Canada use a number of debt concepts to measure indebtedness. The main concepts are debt representing accumulated deficits, gross debt, net debt and the debt of the public sector as a whole. Each concept has its own rationale. This document explains the various concepts of debt in Québec as well as those used by the federal and provincial governments in Canada.
