Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau Tables Budget

28 February 2018 à 12:00 am

Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s third budget, tabled yesterday, focused on a number of topics, including gender equality, Aboriginal reconciliation and science.

The Liberals are not particularly worried getting to a balanced budget, while the deficit is $ 18.1 billion for 2018-19. Rather, they are banking on a “deficit reduction path” that will bring it to $ 12.3 billion in 2022-23.

Minister Morneau said that the Canadian economy is doing very well.

It should be noted that the Liberals plan to invest $ 431 million over six years in order to stabilize the pay system for federal public servants, which is experiencing major failures.
