Some conference members raised the idea of issuing a special low-interest government bond to help reduce the deficit. The government does not plan such a measure, because it is highly doubtful there would be enough Canadians willing to accept below-market returns to justify the cost of such a program.

CONT

Certains participants aux conférences ont proposé que l'État procède à une émission spéciale d'obligations à faible taux d'intérêt pour contribuer à la réduction du déficit. Le gouvernement n'envisage par une mesure de ce genre, parce qu'il doute fortement qu'un nombre suffisant de Canadiens soient disposés à accepter des rendements inférieurs aux taux du marché pour justifier le coût d'un tel programme.
