MNI PODCAST: FedSpeak- Canada Budget Has Housing Wiggle Room

(MNI) OTTAWA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
  • Ahead of Canada's fall fiscal update, Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy President Page sees limited fiscal room even as Canada's finances outshine G7 peers.
  • Government has shown little inclination to set genuine fiscal targets but appears on track for limited moves to tackle voter anger over a housing squeeze, the former parliamentary budget officer says.
  • Some "base hits" to address housing make more sense than "home runs," Page says.
