Government moves to cool boom with tighter spending
Ottawa Finance Minister John Turner said the government will curb growth to "plane down" the economy. He forecast a lower deficit than February, estimating about 600 million and a total cash requirement near 1.5 billion, with revenues rising to 18.6 billion and expenditures up about 300 million. The plan hinges on restrictive supplementary estimates and likely Parliament approval of a new family allowance and tax changes.
