An Act to amend the Financial Administration Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts (debt forgiveness registry)
Overall, the bill advances transparency and fiscal accountability with minimal economic downside, aligning most clearly with efficient, rules-based government. Its effects on growth, exports, and productivity are indirect, so alignment is modest but net positive.
Will the government support Bill C-230 and commit to publishing all $1‑million‑plus corporate debt write-offs so taxpayers can finally see who benefits from forgiven public debts?
When will the government table a concrete productivity plan that cuts red tape, accelerates major project approvals, and attracts investment back to Canada?
What immediate steps will the government take to reduce ER wait times and secure more family doctors this year, and will new health transfers be tied to measurable results?
Improves fiscal transparency but has no direct effect on growth or national income.
Curbs opaque, insider deals and reduces secrecy, reinforcing rule-of-law and a level playing field.
Productivity impacts are indirect; may modestly deter rent-seeking but does not change production incentives.
No trade or export provisions.
Transparency can enhance investor confidence, though public disclosure could marginally chill some settlements; net effect unclear.
Accountability for large write-offs can deter waste, improve collections, and strengthen stewardship of public funds.
Does not change tax rates or structure; only permits information sharing for the registry.
A procedural transparency measure; benefits are modest rather than transformative.
