Mark Carney’s high-stakes first budget
Manage episode 517483432 series 2455762
On Tuesday, Canada’s Minister of Finance will announce his much anticipated budget.
It’s Mark Carney’s first as Prime Minister, and comes at a time of instability and uncertainty for the country. Trade negotiations with the U.S. are on hiatus, and the pressure’s on to spark economic growth while trimming spending and making life more affordable for Canadians.
Carney’s minority government also needs support from other parties for the budget to pass. And if it doesn’t, we could be looking at another election.
Our guest is Rosemary Barton, CBC’s chief political correspondent.
