This R&D provides resources on Canada’s budget, the first under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Departing from the austerity measures of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau’s budget calls for a $22.5 billion deficit, three times what was initially promised during the 2015 campaign. The arts, indigenous education, and benefits for veterans received a boost, but new military spending has been delayed. Like other oil exporters, Canada is attempting to weather a significant reduction in global oil prices and if this continues over the long-term it could force Trudeau’s Liberal government to trim spending in future years.
