OTTAWA -
The federal government posted a budgetary surplus of $3.62 billion for the first three months of its 2023-24 fiscal year, compared with a surplus of $10.20 billion in the same period a year earlier.

budgetary surplus of $3.62 billion预算盈余？

Public debt charges totalled $10.69 billion, up from $8.07 billion a year ago, driven by higher interest on treasury bills and marketable bonds, offset in part by lower consumer price index adjustments on real return bonds.

Net actuarial losses amounted to $2.46 billion, down from $2.58 billion.


But but but, 实际上是亏损，政府总债务增加？

懂的说说是不是这么回事

预算正在平衡

$3.62 billion surplus，应该是原计划第一季度花100 billion，但是只花了96.4 billion。。。转入第二季度，接着花，年底都能花完，也许还不够。。。


“Program expenses excluding net actuarial losses amounted to $93.81 billion, up from $87.03 billion in the same period last year.”

有盈余，但是总负债增加了。
真会玩。

土豆羽扇纶巾运筹帷幄，budget will balance itself soon...

去年欠债 1亿，今年计划再欠 1亿。虽然拼着命糟践，还是没糟践完。还剩 1000万 (surplus)? 但总债增加到了 1.9亿

预算正在平衡么。赚了3b, 减去多借2b. 还剩1b。财长干的不错么

每个财年开始都这样，多收上来的税还没来得及花，土豆会花出去的，不要着急。

土豆要省钱了。将减15b花销。猜猜从哪里砍
