Federal Economic and Fiscal Snapshot

On July 8, Minister of Finance Bill Morneau delivered a fiscal and economic update in the House of Commons. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was not a traditional economic update or budget presentation. The government estimates it has spent over $231 billion on health and safety measures and on its support programs. A record-setting deficit of $343.2 billion is projected for the 2020–2021 fiscal year, a level of spending on par with spending during the Second World War. Economists expect the Canadian economy to contract by 6% in 2020—the sharpest drop since the Great Depression—and anticipate a rebound of 5.5% in 2021.
