MORNEAU IN AMERICA

摘要

Justin trudeau, the new Canadian prime minister, is known for busting yoga moves when he's not pushing his center-left agenda. But Trudeau has a straight man in Finance Minister Bill Morneau, 53. At a New York luncheon in late March, the former business executive called investing in growth forthe long term "the single best thing we can do to make Canada a destination for investors." To that end, Morneau's government is running a C$29.4 billion ($23 billion) deficit in 2016 and pouringC$120 billion into infrastructure overthe next decade. Canada is in a unique position to spend because its 31 percent debt-to-GDP ratio is the lowest in the G7, he noted.
