I am not sure of the exact number but i believe total debt repayment since 1993 has been ~40 Billion. That is not just GDP growth...
EDIT:
Quote:
reduced Canada’s public debt since 1997, when the budget was balanced. Since then, the government repaid $54 billion in debt through six successive budget surpluses. The debt ratio declined from more than 70 percent of GDP in 1994 to less than 40 percent at present (second-best in the G7).
