This budget outlines the next steps in the Liberal government’s plan to finish the fight against COVID-19, ensure a robust economic recovery, and invest in jobs and growth for all Canadians.
Earlier this afternoon, Chrystia Freeland unveiled Budget 2021.
This budget outlines the next steps in the Liberal government’s plan to finish the fight against COVID-19, ensure a robust economic recovery, and invest in jobs and growth for all Canadians.
Canada entered the pandemic in a strong fiscal position – and from the very beginning, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal team have continued to put people first and to do whatever it takes to keep Canadians safe, healthy and supported.
Today’s budget outlines the work ahead of us, and here are a few important highlights:
Finishing the fight against COVID-19 and investing in health care: The Liberal government’s top priority remains protecting Canadians’ health and safety, particularly during this third, aggressive wave of the virus and its variants;
Creating jobs and growing the middle class: Justin Trudeau said that our Liberal government will have Canadian’s backs – and this plan will extend business and income support measures through to the fall;
Funding early learning and child care: Budget 2021 makes a transformative investment to build a Canada-wide early learning and child care system to drive economic growth, increase women’s participation in the workforce, and offer each child in Canada the best start in life;
Building a green recovery for jobs and a cleaner future: Budget 2021 is also a plan for a green recovery that fights climate change, because we know that ignoring the risks of climate change is not an option;
And so much more
This is a budget that invests in growth, friend. As Chrystia Freeland said, “In today’s low interest rate environment, not only can we afford these investments, it would be short-sighted for us not to make them.”
Justin Trudeau and our Liberal government will continue working to protect your health, create good jobs, grow the middle class, and recover from this pandemic, and today’s budget marks the path forward.
Dedicated supporters like you are at the heart of this movement, friend, and it’s because of you that our Liberal team is able to keep building on our party’s work to deliver support for Canadians, keep Canadians safe and healthy, and keep Canada moving forward.
The hard work never stops, and it’s your commitment that will help lay the groundwork for what’s to come. In a minority Parliament though, we can never take any of our progress for granted – and that’s why we hope you will consider chipping in to support these crucial next steps in our work together to build a better future.
If you’re able, chip in today to support Justin Trudeau, stand behind the Budget that Chrystia Freeland presented today, and support our Liberal team’s work to keep Canada moving forward.
