Sekudlulile iveki urhulumente wobumbano esityhila uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-2021.
Oku kunokuba kuyilo lukarhulumente. Inkcitho yezomkhosi ingcwatyelwe nzulu kuxwebhu lohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-739 apho yabelwa amaphepha amahlanu nje kuphela.
Kwaye la maphepha mahlanu akavezi iinkcukacha ezininzi zenkcitho eyenziweyo emkhosini. Konke esikufundayo kukuba iCanada izakuchitha i-252.2 yezigidi zeedola ngaphezulu kweminyaka emihlanu "ekuphuculeni i-NORAD" kunye ne- $ 847.1 yezigidi ngaphezulu kweminyaka emihlanu ukubonisa "ukuzibophelela okungagungqiyo kweCanada kwi-NATO."
Ukunyaniseka, kukho ukukhankanywa okufutshane ngesicwangciso sikarhulumente sokuthenga ii-jets ezintsha ze-88, kodwa akukho nombolo yedola enikiweyo. Ukuyifumana, umntu kufuneka akhangele kwelinye uxwebhu lukarhulumente elibizwa ngokuba liStrong, Secure, Engaged elityhila ukuba uqikelelo lwamaxabiso kurhulumente kwiijethi yi- $ 15-19 yezigidigidi. Elo ke lixabiso nje lokuthenga. Ngoku ka Hayi Umdibaniso weJets Jight, iindleko zomjikelo wobomi zezi jets ziya kuba zezinye i-77 yezigidigidi zeedola.
Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali i-2021 alukhankanyi konke kwisicwangciso sikarhulumente sokuthenga iinqanawa zemfazwe ezintsha ezili-15, eyona ntengo inkulu kwezomkhosi kwimbali yaseCanada. Ukufumana iindleko zezi nqanawa zemfazwe, umntu kufuneka aye kwenye iwebhusayithi kaRhulumente, "Inkqubo yokuThenga-Umkhosi wamanzi." Apha urhulumente uthi iinqanawa zomkhosi zizakuxabisa i $ 60 billion. IGosa loHlahlo-lwabiwo mali lasePalamente libeka inani elizii-77 zeedola.
Okubi nangakumbi kukuba, uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-2021 aluniki nani kwinkcitho yomkhosi iyonke. Kwakhona umntu kufuneka adibane noStrong, Secure, Engaged: “Ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zokhuselo zaseCanada ekhaya nakumazwe aphesheya” kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo, urhulumente uza kuchitha i-553 yezigidigidi zeedola.
Kutheni le nto ukufumana ulwazi ngenkcitho yomkhosi kuyinkqubo ebuhlungu kunye nokuchitha ixesha? Ngapha koko, yimali yabarhafi! Ngaba ukunqongophala kolwazi olufumanekayo kwenzelwe ukuthintela amandla oluntu okugxeka inkcitho yomkhosi?
Ukuba umntu ebenokuya engxakini yokumba ulwazi olunjalo, angenza ntoni ngalo? Makhe siqwalasele ukuthengwa kukarhulumente okucwangcisiweyo kweenqwelomoya ezintsha ezingama-88.
Umbuzo wokuqala ngowokuba zenzelwe ntoni iinqwelo-moya esele zikho, ii-CF-18s? Njengomzekelo, singacinga ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwezi-CF-18 kuhlaselo lwe-NATO lokuqhushumisa eLibya ngo-2011. inani elisusela kuma-60 (i-UN) ukuya kuma-72 (i-Human Rights Watch) ukuya kuma-403 (ii-Airwars) ukuya kwi-1,108 (kwiOfisi yezeMpilo yaseLibya). Ukuqhushumbisa kukonakalise nembonakalo yomhlaba.
Umbuzo olandelayo kukuba imali ebekelwe iijets ezintsha zokulwa- kwaye, ngokubanzi, inkcitho yezomkhosi- inokusetyenziswa ngenye indlela. Iibhiliyoni ezingama-77 zeerandi — ndingasathethi ke nge-553 lamawaka ezigidi zeerandi — yimali eninzi gqitha leyo! Akunakusetyenziswa bhetele kwiiprojekthi zokuphucula ubomi kunokuzisa ukufa kunye nentshabalalo?
Kutheni, umzekelo, i-Universal Basic Income ingafumaneki kuHlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-2021? Yavunywa phantse ngamxhelo-mnye kwindibano yangoku yeLiberal Party kwaye ixhaswe ngamalungu amaninzi ePalamente avela kwamanye amaqela? IGosa loHlahlo-lwabiwo mali lasePalamente liqikelela ukuba i-UBI iya kuxabisa i-85 yezigidigidi zeedola. Ukwathelekelela ukuba iyakubunciphisa ubuhlwempu ngesiqingatha eCanada. Ngokutsho kweStats Canada, izigidi ezi-3.2 zabantu baseKhanada, kubandakanya ngaphezulu kwama-560,000 abantwana, bahlala kwintlupheko.
Kuthekani ngokuvala umsantsa weziseko zophuhliso kwiZizwe eziQala? Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-2021 luthembisa nge-6 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ukulungisa lo mbandela, "kubandakanya inkxaso yamanzi acocekileyo okusela, izindlu, izikolo kunye neendlela." Kungenzeka ukuba ixabise ubuncinci i-6 yezigidigidi zeedola ukuphelisa zonke iingcebiso zamanzi abilayo kwiZizwe zokuQala. Uphononongo olwenziwe ngo-2016 liBhunga laseKhanada lobuDlelwane babucala noRhulumente liqikelele ukuba umsantsa weziseko zophuhliso kwi-First Nations ububuncinane "ubuncinci yi-25 yezigidigidi."
Kwaye kwenzeka ntoni ngemozulu? I-Canada lilizwe leshumi ngobukhulu ekhupha ikharbon kwaye ivelisa okwesibini ngomntu ngamnye ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni phakathi kwamazwe atyebileyo ehlabathi. Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-10 lubonelela nge-2021 yezigidigidi zeedola kwinto uChrystia Freeland ayibiza ngokuba “luhlaza eCanada.” Ingxelo yowama-17.6 yoQeqesho loMsebenzi woBuyiselo oluQinisekayo, iqela elizimeleyo lezemali, umgaqo-nkqubo kunye neengcali kwezendalo, licele urhulumente ukuba atyale imali eyi- $ 2020 yezigidigidi ukulungiselela ukubuyisela kwimeko yesiqhelo kubhubhane weCovid oxhasa "iinjongo zemozulu ezingxamisekileyo kunye nokukhula kunye noqoqosho olunekhabhoni encinci. ”
Imfazwe, kufanele kuqatshelwe, ayisiyiyo kuphela into etya iibhiliyoni zeedola ebinokuchithwa kwindalo esingqongileyo, ikwanendawo yokuthambisa yecarbon enkulu kwaye itshabalalise iindawo zendalo.
Imibuzo efana nale iphakanyiswe apha ngasentla iloluhlobo urhulumente awayefuna ukuluphepha xa wayesenza uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lowama-2021. Ke ngoko, masiqale ukubabuza!
Kuya kufuneka sibize urhulumente ukuba abuyise imali emfazweni-oko kungathetha ukutshintsha imali kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lokhuselo iye kwiiprojekthi zokuqinisekisa ubomi njenge-UBI, iziseko zophuhliso kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo, kunye nokusebenza kwemozulu. Eyona njongo iphambili akufuneki ibe yimali yokulwa, kunye nelizwe elinobulungisa ngakumbi nelinoxanduva lokusingqongileyo.
