Today in Question Period, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland announced that the Federal Budget will be introduced on Monday, April 19. This will be the first Budget by the Trudeau government in over two years, after COVID-19 lead to the cancellation of a 2020 Budget.
The federal government has committed to spend $70-$100 billion (3-4% of GDP) over the next three years to help stimulate Canada’s economic recovery from the pandemic. Much of this spending is expected to be detailed in Budget 2021. This Budget is also expected to be the foundation for the Liberal election platform in the anticipated 2021 federal election.
As the details of the 2021 Budget become available, let Sussex help connect you with the right people in government to help your organization get through these extraordinary times.
Please reach out to your Sussex representative directly or to a member of the Federal Government Relations Team.
