Description

Secretary of State for the CRA Wayne Long explains Prime Minister Mark Carney's vow for 'an austerity and investment budget,' saying 'we need to get our fiscal house in order,' but that Canadians shouldn't 'prejudge' that a spending review will mean cuts to services. Plus, Pembina Institute transportation program director Adam Thorn reacts to Carney's pausing of the federal EV mandate, and analyzes what it means for Canada's 2030 and 2035 emissions targets after Carney dodged a question about meeting the goals.
