Your morning briefing from CTVNews.ca

GOOD MORNING The details of 2023’s federal budget includes a projected $40 billion deficit, cutting three per cent of spending for federal government departments, and new funding for the next phase of a national dental program.
Here's what you need to know to start your day. | | | | | Budget 2023 The government is unveiling continued deficit spending targeted at Canadians' pocketbooks, public health care, and the clean economy. The federal deficit is projected to be $40.1 billion in 2023-24, nearly $10 billion more than forecast in last fall's economic snapshot. A slowing economy and new Liberal spending are behind this increase. |
|
| | | | Government cuts The federal budget also proposes an across-the-board three per cent spending cut for all departments and agencies, a belt-tightening move after years of massive growth in the federal public service. The proposal is one of several the Liberals say will save more than $15 billion in government spending over the next five years. |
|
| | | | Dental care The government's dental-care insurance program is now set to cost more than double what the Liberals originally thought, adding another $7.3 billion over five years. Last year, the government set up a temporary dental benefit for uninsured children under the age of 12 in families with a household income of less than $90,000. |
