EFF mechanism)-- all of which was also repaid. In that case, Ottawa's «stimulus» was more like a quarter - trillion dollars... far outpacing everyone else in the OECD as a share of GDP! Of course that's nonsense. This was just one of many ways that Ottawa inflated the true value of its stimulus effort last
year (including counting as «stimulus» the increase in EI payouts that automatically accompanied last
year's mass layoffs).
