Federal budget aims to ease living costs with new spending
The 2023 budget proposes 3.3 billion in new spending to curb rising costs from inflation and energy. It projects a 43 billion dollar deficit and a debt of 1.18 trillion. A 13 billion five year plan funds dental care for low income families and a 2.5 billion grocery rebate, with up to 467 for families and 234 for singles. Critics call the measures insufficient and politically weak.
