A FISCALLY PRUDENT BUDGET TO MAKE LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR CANADIANS

The Member of Parliament for Pontiac, Sophie Chatel, wishes to highlight the prudent and fiscally responsible federal budget tabled by the Minister of Finance, and Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland. The 2022 budget comes at a time when the economy is rebounding from the pandemic. Economic growth is important because it raises and improves the standard of living for Canadians. However, in the context of climate change, technological innovation and a rapidly evolving global economy, Canada's economic success is not guaranteed, and requires focused and concerted action. That is why Budget 2022 invests in housing, innovation and facilitating a green transition. The government's efforts to stimulate economic growth, create jobs in sectors of the future and facilitate the transition to a green and technological economy is the best way to make life more affordable for years to come. As Chair of the Rural Liberal Caucus, MP Chatel is very pleased to find several recommendations from our Caucus in the Budget.
