On Tuesday April 16, the 2024 federal budget is set to be released – and the very next day, we’re breaking it down on our monthly political panel, Off the Hill.
Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the federal budget will “unlock pathways to a good middle class life for the next generation.” Will it?
No matter the outcome, this budget will give us a comprehensive picture of the state of Canada’s finances and an understanding of what the current Liberal government thinks the economic priorities are.
Join us on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET as we dissect the federal budget, what it will mean for the future of Canadians and how it might possibly influence the upcoming election.
