Finance minister says ‘no surprises’ in budget, promises ‘generational investments’

OTTAWA – Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says there will be “no surprises” when he tables a federal budget tomorrow that he promises will offer “generational investments.”

The finance minister told a press conference in Saint-Tite, Que., this morning that the budget bill will have “something for every Canadian.”

The government has said this budget is built around boosting investment in Canada as the country looks to shift trade away from an increasingly protectionist U.S. under President Donald Trump.
