I think most of us are very uneasy when governments try to borrow more money then they can ever afford to pay back. Some times you have to do that, especially if you can plan your borrowing so that you know you can return it. I would like to ask the Minister does this government have the authority, in fact, to issue government bonds like all the provinces do?
