We’re inviting you to ask questions about what’s in the spring economic statement.
The Carney government is set to release its first spring economic statement on April 28 — an update that will include an estimate of the government’s deficit and outline the plan for families and industry amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
The announcement comes not long after the Liberals won three byelections, securing them a majority government.
How has the oil crisis affected Canada’s fiscal outlook? And what to make of the deficit?
The Star’s Deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief is here to break it all down.
Join Alex Ballingall on Wednesday at 11 a.m. for an “Ask Me Anything”-style chat with the journalists closely covering Ottawa and federal politics.
From the data behind the numbers and what the Liberals are prioritizing to what this update means for you, let us help you figure it out.
