Global National: April 16, 2024 | Highlights from Canada's 2024 federal budget
In tonight's top story: federal government has released its 2024 budget, taking aim at improving affordability amid Canada's slowing economy, and an uphill road for the Liberals in the polls. David Akin looks at the highlights from the new fiscal plan, including its focus on helping younger Canadians. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has tabled her fourth federal budget, which is forecasted to leave a $39.8-billion deficit. Global National's Dawna Friesen speaks with Freeland about the increase in the capital gains tax, the country's productivity problem and the criticism to the Liberals' spending policies. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh expressed disappointment in the federal government's 2024 budget, saying the Liberals "ignored the opportunity to take on corporate greed." Mercedes Stephenson breaks down Singh's comments on the budget and whether they could hint at the NDP voting against it. As Israel pledges to respond to Iran's drone and missile attack, the Middle East remains on edge as it remains unclear what that retaliation will look like. Crystal Goomansingh looks at how Israel's allies are continuing their calls for de-escalation, as the country's two top military officials signal the opposite. Plus, Manitoba RCMP have arrested three 17-year-old boys, all of whom are high school hockey players, in relation to two separate reports of hazing at a hotel in Winnipeg. Melissa Ridgen looks at what is known so far about the investigation.
