Prime Minister Mark Carney will scrap some of his predecessor’s signature policies if his recent budget is passed, but he is seeking to maintain major expenditures related to gender and racial equity programs.
Budget 2025 focuses on large-scale expenditures in a bid to grow the economy while including some cuts to the public service. It also changes the former Liberal government’s plan to plant 2 billion trees by 2031 and eliminates some taxes such as the luxury tax on aircraft and boats.
