The federal government’s economic outlook is based on the forecasts of economists at 13 financial institutions and research outfits.

The combination of inflation and stronger corporate profits left Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland with about $41 billion in unexpected revenue over the next five years. She resisted the urge to spend all of it. Theto $114 billion in the fiscal year that ended March 31, and will drop to $53 billion this year – on its way to $8.4 billion in 2027.
Freeland’s “fiscal anchor” is a promise to keep debt as a percentage of GDP on a downward track. Her outlook achieves that commitment, although probably not as forcefully as some of her critics would like. The debt is currently about 46.5 per cent of GDP. The budget predicts it will slowly decline to 41.5 per cent of GDP over the next five years. The government is counting on a growing economy to keep the debt burden in check: in nominal terms, the debt is projected to rise to $1.

The budget also contains new rules to discourage property flipping.
Looks like she is saying “ Look... I got my colouring books all finished, do you want to see them?”
Let me guess - it's not the colour of Freeland's outfit - right CandiceBergenMP and HonEdFast ?
You forgot digital currency and taking full control of our money. We'll all be truckers if we don't oblige then...
