Liberals unveil slimmer federal budget
Housing affordability, defence and climate are the bi- ticket items in the Liberals’ latest federal budget. Today on Front Burner, CBC’s Vassy Kapelos takes us through the meaning of the latest figures.
The Liberals' new budget doesn't come with the hefty price tag of last year's plan for pandemic recovery. But it isn't thrifty either, pledging about $31.2 billion in net new spending over the next five years — mainly for housing, defence, and climate change.
Today, CBC's host of Power and Politics Vassy Kapelos joins us to break down the big-ticket items in the government's new spending plan, and look at whether it will help make life more affordable for Canadians.
