Interest rates are low and credit is readily accessible, making it easy to take on more debt. What's more is that debt becomes manageable in this kind of climate, until of course, it's not. This summer the Bank of Canada lowered interest rates, and since that time, media sources have been reporting that Canadians are managing their debt levels and that delinquency rates have fallen.
On today’s show our guests are bankruptcy trustees Blair Mantin from Sands & Associates in British Columbia and Barton Goth from Goth and Company in Alberta, to talk about the kinds of trends they're seeing in their own provinces and whether they think those reports accurately represent consumer debt across the nation.
