I believe that funding infrastructures, education and health are good investments for the future of Canada... that could and would gross out even more surpluses from gained productivity.
I completely agree, but ignoring the debt totally isn't the right idea either.

I believe the last surplus was entirely put aside for debt payment if we don't count the special 2 billion cushion that the govt is puting aside every year in case of "emergencies".
well since the budget for 2005 hasn't been released here's the one for 2004
some things other then debt repayment are included.
update: the mayor of Montreal wont let this happen, he has offered all the needed financial garantees needed by FINA. About 12 millions $. There is no way that the city would let the event go away, with so much money already invested in the facilities and about 55000 nights/rooms in the city's hotels reserved, we're talking big money and big blow to the city and country's image.
Now the ball is in FINA's camp, hope they show some good will.

good news, they're back in Montreal...
the head of the FINA said on radio that he never really wanted to pull the plug on the event in montreal but he did this in order for the public authorities to do something about the lack of private sponsorships... (blackmail anyone...)
lame, gave such a bad rep. for the city and the country.
