Obviously we know why that happened, Covid, but how are you going to try to attribute much of that to the previous actions of Harper's government (because you have to tie the covid spending/debt back to Harper if you want to back up your 75% claim)?

Of that original $650 billion Trudeau 1.0 was responsible for a big chunk.
