Public debt charges were significantly higher than the November 1981 budget projections for 1981-82 because interest rates and Canada Savings Bond sales turned out to be higher than originally assumed. However, the projections for public debt charges have changed little from 1982-83 to 1985-86, as lower projected interest rates tend to offset the effect on public debt charges from projected increases in financial requirements. 3, record 3, English, - public%20debt%20charges
