Canada’s senior governments have regularly missed budget spending and revenue targets during the last decade, according to a report by the C.D. Howe Institute. In "Canada’s 2012 Fiscal Accountability Rankings," authors Colin Busby and William B.P. Robson find the combined spending overruns of federal, provincial and territorial governments have surpassed $53 billion in the last 10 years.
