This Conservative Budget stays the course. Really, there’s not that much to get excited about, but there are some important features:
1) No surprises; that’s good news
2) Funding for job training; the more people who are making money and paying taxes the better ($5000 per person to be matched by provinces and employers)
3) The federal government’s annual budget will be balanced by 2015 (it’s on course now, and half of what it was)
4) Funding on infrastructure in municipalities; $47 Billion over the next decade
All in all, it’s a “stay the course” budget. It’s good news. The banking system is intact, and no one thinks that Canada is at financial risk.
That makes investing in CANADA an opportunity. And, just because you are here, don’t miss the obvious. Look at the mess in Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Cyprus!
