“This is going to be a plan that is going to help families, it’s going to help our industry, it’s going to help our nation.”
The Liberals last year switched the scheduling for tabling the annual federal budget and the mid-year economic update, which in prior years had been presented in the fall.
The federal budget tabled last fall, which was finally enshrined into law in March, predicted the deficit will rise to $78.3 billion for this fiscal year.
In that budget, Carney adopted a new fiscal framework that would see Ottawa eventually borrow only for new capital investments while cutting day-to-day program expenses and downsizing the public service.
