Government revenue totalled $310-billion for the nine-month period, up from $278.3-billion in the same period a year earlier
The federal government posted a $5.5-billion deficit during the first nine months of its 2022-23 fiscal year.
In its monthly fiscal monitor, the Finance Department says the result compared with a deficit of $70.1-billion during the same period a year earlier. Government revenue totalled $310.0-billion for the nine-month period, up from $278.3-billion in the same period a year earlier, due to stronger economic growth and the fading effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, program expenses excluding net actuarial losses amounted to $282.4-billion for the period, down from $322.0-billion a year earlier, due to the expiration of COVID-19 measures. Public debt charges totalled $25.8-billion for the period, up from $18.7-billion, as a result of higher interest rates and inflation.
