3/3: - the measures they promised to meet - and whether or not they met each one.
It's interesting reading if your tastes include impartial analysis of the federal budget.

4/4: interest payments on debt to $53.7 B!
I joined colleague MP Jamie Schmale on "The Blueprint" to unpack this.
I hope you'll find time to watch. What is going on is unprecedented in so many ways & will affect us all directly.

Frontline public servants work hard every day to keep Canadians safe.
#FES2024 is making sure their service is recognized by expanding the "25 and out" policy, allowing them to retire after 25 years without any pension reductions.
We’re glad that creating more affordable, climate resilient housing is still a goal, but #FES2024 doesn't go far enough. AAC's research shows we need transformative federal action: acquiring land near transit, building climate-ready affordable housing, and scaling up the non-profit housing sector.
FCM/Federation of Canadian Municipalities is disappointed that yesterday’s federal Fall Economic Statement did not provide a strong signal to municipalities/their challenges. More at www.facebook.com/Federationof...

Sexual and Reproductive Health made permanent.
Yesterday's Fall Economic Statement included a major advocacy win for us at @actioncanadashr.bsky.social ✨
This groundbreaking win means Canadians will continue to have access to essential SRH services like abortion care, STI prevention, and more.
Advocacy works, friends!!!

Behind all the politics today, #FES2024 contains some important measures to boost capital spending in Canadian firms:
* big ITC extended 5 more years
* big changes to SR&ED to help start-ups get to scale
* more options for pension funds to invest in Canadian equity
All good ideas #cdnecon /2
