Carney, a former central banker, has promised to cut the government’s operating budget, likely meaning government services, programs and jobs are on the line, while committing to major investments and projects.
It’ll be an interesting test for a man who has an international reputation for his economic bona fides.
Last December’s fall economic statement (which was overshadowed when then finance minister Chrystia Freeland abruptly quit cabinet) showed the federal deficit ballooned to nearly $62 billion.
What to expect from government and the Official Opposition when Parliament returns
Chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton is joined for this Sunday Scrum by Toronto Star Ottawa bureau chief Tonda MacCharles, Le Devoir columnist Emilie Nicolas and CHEK News political correspondent Rob Shaw to discuss the government's top priorities when Parliament returns, and what pressure they may face from the Opposition.
The marquee event of this sitting of the House of Commons will be Carney's first budget, and his government is already signalling there will be a lot of red.
“A substantial deficit means hard choices."
So far, Carney will only say that “substantial means it'll be bigger than it was last year.”
Carney, Poilievre to face off for 1st time in House of Commons
MPs return to Ottawa on Monday, as the House of Commons begins its fall sitting. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre will go head-to-head for the first time as the parliament returns.
This is where the real test for Prime Minister Mark Carney begins — not only will he be facing off against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in question period for the first time, but he’s also under pressure to deliver on the ambitious agenda he pitched to Canadian voters.
From getting his “nation-building” projects off the ground to a new housing agency and massive investments in defence, the government has made a lot of promises — all while U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war stirs up economic uncertainty.
