Cabinet ministers in the Liberal government have been told to come up with $15 billion in spending cuts before Oct. 2, according to a report.

In correspondence obtained by The Globe and Mail, Treasury Board President Anita Anand delivered the deadline to her cabinet colleagues, giving them just a few months to find cuts that were first promised in the 2023 federal budget.
