Canada’s Federal budget 2019-20 discussed

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau tabled his fourth budget on March 19. In keeping with this government’s previous themes, this budget focuses on continued economic growth, job creation, upskilling Canadians for the changing economy, support for first-time home buyers, investments in cleaning up the environment, improving relations with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples, and a new national pharmacare initiative — all with the aim of supporting and building Canada’s middle class.
