Ottawa offers $30.6 billion in new spending as it braces for a recession next year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled her fall economic statement Thursday \u2014 a roadmap of what’s to come from the federal government as the economy stands on the brink of a recession<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Freeland has promised fiscal prudence in this era of sky-high inflation, the budget proposes billions of dollars in new spending to help\u00a0some\u00a0of the people hit hardest by rising prices \u2014\u00a0including students and low-income workers \u2014\u00a0and to launch what she called\u00a0a real, robust industrial policy<\/q>\u00a0to position Canada for economic growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upshot:\u00a0$30.6 billion in new spending over the next six years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FINANCE MINISTER DELIVERS FALL ECONOMIC STATEMENT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

12 minutes agoLIVEChrystia Freeland gives fiscal update in the House of Commons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government’s current fiscal health is much better than expected thanks to higher oil prices and growth in personal and corporate taxes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeland’s spring budget projected a deficit of $52.8 billion for the 2022-23 fiscal year. Now, the fall economic statement is forecasting a deficit of $36.4 billion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s still a lot higher\u00a0than the $23 billion deficit Ottawa could have posted had it saved more of its financial windfall instead of\u00a0earmarking it for new programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a risk that $36.4 billion deficit projection might never materialize. The deficit could end up\u00a0much worse \u2014\u00a0because the economy is on\u00a0shaky ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government fears the economy could slip into a recession next year as the Bank of Canada’s aggressive interest rate hikes substantially slow a once red-hot economy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private sector economists surveyed by Ottawa are projecting real GDP growth at\u00a0just above zero for the next several quarters. That would push Canada’s unemployment rate up from the current 5.2 per cent to 6.3 per cent by the end of next year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal government presented what it called a\u00a0downside scenario<\/q>\u00a0for growth and employment \u2014 one in which\u00a0a recession results in thousands of lost jobs, fewer taxes collected, a spike in employment insurance (EI) payments and a dramatically higher deficit:\u00a0$49.1 billion in 2022-23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Our economy is slowing down’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0downside scenario<\/q>\u00a0is not out of the realm of possibility, the government said. In fact, Freeland’s department said Thursday\u00a0the balance of risks to the growth outlook are tilted to the downside<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a challenging time for millions of Canadians. It’s important that I’m honest with Canadians about the challenges that lie ahead,<\/q>\u00a0Freeland said in a speech Thursday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest rates are rising as the central bank steps in to tackle inflation. That means our economy is slowing down<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A senior government official who spoke to reporters on background Thursday said there is\u00a0undeniably a lot of uncertainty. We’re also seeing volatility<\/q>\u00a0in the economy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\u00a0the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada determined to bring down inflation through higher rates, the official said, Ottawa is now expecting a\u00a0relatively shallow, relatively short recession<\/q>\u00a0over three quarters in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0official also said\u00a0the country is relatively well-positioned for a slowdown because labour markets are\u00a0tight \u2014\u00a0which should keep the unemployment level lower than it was during\u00a0the 2008-09 economic crisis \u2014 and higher commodity prices are generally\u00a0good for the Canadian economy<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help the poorest Canadians cope with inflation pressure, Freeland announced the government will rework the current Canada Workers Benefit (CWB), a refundable tax credit that tops up the incomes of about 3 million workers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government says it\u00a0will spend $4 billion over the next six years to automatically issue what it’s\u00a0calling\u00a0advance payments<\/q>\u00a0to those eligible for the CWB; recipients won’t have to wait for tax time to collect all of what they’re owed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers qualify for the benefit based on their income from the previous\u00a0tax year. The benefit will provide up to $714 for single workers and $1,231 for a family<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change to the CWB comes on top of\u00a0other measures Ottawa recently rolled out for low-income Canadians: a doubling of the GST credit for six months, a top-up to the Canada Housing\u00a0Benefit and a plan to cover dental expenses for low-income kids under 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student loans going interest-free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help students, Freeland announced the government will make all Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans permanently interest-free \u2014\u00a0including\u00a0those currently being repaid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This $2.7 billion program is expected to save the average student loan borrower $410 a year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government also has earmarked another $802.1 million in spending over the next three years for a\u00a0youth employment and skills strategy<\/q>\u00a0that will include some 70,000 annual summer job placements<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the housing file, the government promised Thursday to table legislation soon to implement the long-promised\u00a0tax-free first home savings account,<\/q>\u00a0an initiative that was first pitched in the spring budget<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program combines features of RRSPs and TFSAs. Money added to a tax-free first home savings account would go in tax-free and could be withdrawn without any taxes owing on investment gains<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government expects eligible Canadians will be able to open such accounts in mid-2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help offset the closing costs associated with the purchase of a home, the government is doubling the first-time home buyers’ tax credit to $10,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This enhanced credit will provide up to $1,500 in direct support and will apply to homes purchased on or after Jan. 1, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing catch-up on a net-zero economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The government is concerned about the Inflation Reduction Act, a landmark piece of legislation that recently cleared the U.S. Congress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That bill will unleash hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. federal spending to jump-start the transition to a cleaner economy south of the border<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a game-changer for climate transition but it’s also a game-changer for the rebuilding of the industrial structure of America for the next generation,<\/q>\u00a0said the senior government official<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to make the U.S. a global leader in batteries, carbon capture, hydrogen, clean fuels, and it will attract foreign direct investment. It’s a gravitational black hole for capital spending<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep pace with the U.S., Ottawa is rolling out two new tax credits meant to spur investment in Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first is a refundable tax credit equal to 30 per cent of the capital cost of investments in clean energy technology such as solar, small modular nuclear reactors, wind and hydro\u00a0and wave and tidal power projects<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tax credit also will apply to electricity storage systems, low-carbon heat equipment like air-source heat pumps, and industrial zero-emission vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second measure is an investment tax credit to support investments in clean hydrogen production<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both initiatives mirror tax credits that were in the U.S. bill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ottawa taxing share buybacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help pay for some of this new spending, the government plans to levy a tax on share buybacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a public company turns a profit, it can repurchase some of its\u00a0outstanding shares. It’s a way to return value to shareholders<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government is promising\u00a0a 2 per cent tax on the net value of all types of share buybacks by public corporations in Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to raising $2.1 billion over five years in revenue for the government, Ottawa expects the tax will encourage companies to use more of their profits to expand operations in Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to try and tilt the balance in favour of investing the capital, enhancing productive capacity, more research and development. We don’t want companies to just be a cash cow, frankly,<\/q>\u00a0a senior official told reporters<\/p>\n\n\n\n
