Opposition MPs seized on a Globe report about tensions between the Prime Minister’s Office and Chrystia Freeland, the same day Ms. Freeland indicated the Liberals will not meet their deficit target
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau argued for his government’s spending but did not defend Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, on the same day she gave the clearest signal yet that the minority Liberals will not meet their promised deficit target.
“According to The Globe and Mail, the Prime Minister’s Office has given internal direction for an aggressive and possibly costly policy agenda that threatens to blow past spending targets,” Conservative Leader “Canadians will keep building a positive future for themselves by being there and showing up for each other, unlike the Leader of the Opposition, who has voted against every measure that has been put on the table to support Canadians.”
Mr. Trudeau’s government has never balanced the budget in its nine years in office and has repeatedly moved back the goalposts by which it judges its own fiscal responsibility. However, in April the government set three goals, or “fiscal guideposts” as the Finance Minister described them in her budget speech, which she said at the time would together show the government was responsibly managing the public purse.The second was lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio in 2024-25 relative to the 2023 fall update and “keeping it on a declining track thereafter.”
