The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to balance the books and provide tax relief when she tables Budget 2023 on March 28.
Freeland could balance the budget and provide tax relief with modest spending restraint. A balanced budget means less debt for Canadian kids and grandkids to pay back, less money wasted on interest charges and room to cut taxes.
The CTF’s pre-budget submission recommends balancing the budget in 2023-24 by bringing programs spending to pre-pandemic levels in 2018-19, adjusted upward for inflation and population growth.
Canadians are struggling to fill their cars with gasoline and pay for ground beef at the grocery store because Ottawa is spending like crazy and raising taxes.
