Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled the Liberal government’s 2022 budget yesterday. Budget 2022, A Plan to Grow Our Economy and Make Life More Affordable, was a departure from the era of massive stimulus spending for COVID-19 measures, while attempting to maintain key Liberal tax and social policy themes and introducing several new initiatives to reflect current challenges such as housing and defence. This CALU Special Report highlights proposed government initiatives and tax proposals of greatest interest to our members and their clients. We extend our thanks to Kevin Wark and Angela Ross, CALU’s tax advisors, for their work in preparing this summary.
