Pierre Fortin's analysis of the causes of the increase in Canada's debt-to-output ratio is reconsidered. We find that the analysis hinges upon a number of supplementary decisions, and that reasonable choices give rise to results strikingly different from those obtained by Fortin. We also extend Fortin's analysis to examine the causes of debt accumulation by level of government. This exercise shows that the causes of debt accumulation are very different at the federal and subnational levels
