Description

On the eve of the Carney government's first federal budget, CBC's Peter Armstrong and Catherine Cullen break down everything we know about what's coming in the document — with one senior Canadian official saying it will include tax changes and tens of billions in cuts. Then, Desjardins Group deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett explains what he'll look for to decide if the sizable deficit the Liberals have signalled will be an investment that pays off.
