“The thing that we believe the government needs to focus on is growth. Currently in Canada, only 50 per cent of a capital gain – such as the profit on a stock sale or an investment property – is taxable. A third category of spending will be under the heading of affordability measures, partly in response to cost-of-living pressures driven by inflation. On the tax front, outside experts are not expecting major changes on Tuesday. “It looks like one of the things we’ve asked for is going to be there,” he told reporters on Parliament Hill.

What to expect from budget 2023 as 'storm clouds' gather over ... (Globalnews.ca)

Canada's 2023 federal budget will see the Liberals attempt to respond to pressures from inflation, the United States and an uncertain economy.

“They’re not going to get everything on their wish list,” he says. Khan says the government could also “stagger” its promises, with spending ramping up in years three, four and five of its budget horizon. There are some sectors that are really hurting, tech being one of them. And so there are people hurting,” she says. It can’t just all be narrative.” He expects the Liberals will devote a fair bit of the budget text to the already announced health-care spending announced in February as a “victory lap” of sorts. As opposed to a newly elected government delivering a budget of change in its first spending plans, the Liberals will have to prove they still have ideas and can make progress on projects that matter to Canadians, Khan says. Despite all the pressures facing the Liberals in their third term in office, Khan says the Trudeau government will need to demonstrate that it’s still “got some fire in its belly” and can deliver results for Canadians. Despite restrictions on the government coffers, the Liberals will need to put a “down payment” on some of the clean energy priorities it has talked about for years, Khan says. But Bartlett adds that the government is facing “a lot of political pressure” to continue to spend to support vulnerable households. “Storm clouds” are gathering for a possible recession on the horizon, Khan notes, and the federal government will feel pressure to “keep some of their powder dry” for emergency spending to resuscitate the economy if the worst-case scenarios come to pass. Bartlett says that while government revenues generally see a boost amid high inflationary periods, the federal government is about to experience the “insidious” nature of rising price pressures on the downturn.

Montreal police say they have identified two more victims found in the rubble of a fire in Old Montreal 12 days ago. Another American community is reeling after a shooter killed three 9-year-olds and three adults at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville. In his exclusive column for CTVNews.ca, Don Martin writes this 'startling change of heart' suggests the PMO is in panic mode and reflects badly on the prime minister's decision making.

For example, air passengers on a roundtrip domestic flight will pay $19.87, up from the current $14.96, and on international flights the rate will rise from $25.91 to $34.42. Not required to be spent at the grocery store, the rebate is being offered through the GST tax credit system and would see eligible couples with two children receive a payment of up to $467. In the near-term, we must contend with a slowing global economy, elevated interest rates around the world, and inflation that is still too high," Freeland writes in the foreword to the budget, of which all 255 pages were tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
