On Tuesday, Canadaâs Minister of Finance will announce his much anticipated budget.
Itâs Mark Carneyâs first as Prime Minister, and comes at a time of instabilityÂ
and uncertainty for the country. Trade negotiations with the U.S. are on hiatus, and the pressureâs on to spark economic growth while trimming spending and making life more affordable for Canadians.
Carneyâs minority government also needs support from other parties for the budget to pass. And if it doesnât, we could be looking at another election.
Our guest is Rosemary Barton, CBCâs chief political correspondent.
