Free AccessCanada Finmin Text: To Release Fall Budget Update on Oct. 24
OTTAWA (MNI) - Following is the text of a statement published Thursday by
Canada's Department of Finance announcing the Fall budget update will be
released on October 24:
When you have an economy that works for the middle class, you have a
country that works for everyone. The Government of Canada's plan to invest in
people, in communities and in the economy is working. As it takes the next steps
in its plan, the Government will build on successes achieved over the last two
years - from the more than 400,000 jobs that have been created, to lower taxes
for the middle class and for small business, to a renewed relationship with
Indigenous Peoples.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau today announced that the Fall Economic
Statement will be tabled on October 24, 2017.
The Statement will build on a plan that is working, and take important next
steps to ensure the middle class and those working hard to join it share in the
success we achieve as a country. The Statement will also affirm the Government's
plan to reduce the small business tax rate to 9 per cent, while ensuring that
this preferential rate is used to support growth and job creation, and not to
provide tax advantages for the wealthy few.
On October 5, 2017, Minister Morneau met with private sector economists to
gather their views on the Canadian and global economies, which will be reflected
in the Fall Economic Statement. Canada has the fastest growing economy among G7
nations, with second-quarter real gross domestic product (GDP) growth hitting
4.5 per cent. For the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2017, the budget deficit
is $11.6 billion less than originally projected in Budget 2016.
Following consultations and open dialogue with stakeholders across the
country, and with the needs of families as its highest priority, the Government
is building an economy that works for the middle class and those working hard to
join it.
Quick Facts:
Canada's underlying economic and fiscal fundamentals remain sound: over the last
four quarters, real GDP has grown at an average rate of 3.7 per cent - the
strongest four-quarter period of expansion since 2006. The labor market has also
been strong, with over 400,000 new jobs created in the last two years.
The Government of Canada has taken significant steps towards helping families
regain the confidence needed to help drive the economy forward. This includes
cutting taxes for 9 million Canadians, introducing a new Canada Child Benefit,
and strengthening the Canada Pension Plan so that future generations of workers
can retire with dignity.
The Government is committed to sound fiscal management as it continues to make
investments to support long-term economic growth and a strong middle class,
while preserving Canada's low-debt advantage for current and future generations.
