SteelmanSpren in Favour

  • A steelman argument in favor of this act could be: The granting of $8,749,898,306 towards defraying charges and expenses of the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 is necessary for the continued functioning of the government and the provision of essential public services. This funding will support various government departments and agencies in carrying out their mandate and fulfilling their responsibilities to the Canadian people. The federal public administration plays a crucial role in providing services and programs that benefit Canadians in various areas such as healthcare, education, transportation, and infrastructure. Without proper funding, these essential services may be compromised, leading to a decline in the overall well-being of the population. Furthermore, the allocation of funds through this act has been done based on careful consideration and assessment of the needs and priorities of

SteelmanSpren Against

  • One steelman argument opposing this Act could be as follows: "While it is important to allocate funds for the federal public administration, the amount of $8,749,898,306 is excessive and raises concerns about government spending. With increasing national debt and economic uncertainty, it would be more responsible to prioritize fiscal discipline and make more targeted budgetary allocations. This Act does not provide sufficient justification for such a large sum of money and lacks transparency in how it will be allocated. It is essential to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used effectively and efficiently, and this Act fails to adequately address those concerns."
