Cam Guthrie is pleased more is being done to build more homes while Lloyd Longfield feels a national school food program will help children in Guelph.
A total of $535 billion is going to be spent, including $11.5 billion in new spending. $8.5 billion of that is to help more new homes to be built, something Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie was glad to see.
“All municipalities were trying to figure out whether or not there would be any further investment in that,” he said. “The details, of course, need to be flushed out. But it is good to see that is still on the list.” Guthrie also emphasized that all three levels of government need to work together to address the housing issue both in Guelph and across Canada.The budget also includes $1 billion over the next five years for a national school food program.“The federal government is stepping and saying ‘we have to do more’,” said Guelph Liberal MP Lloyd Longfield.
Freeland said this budget aims to provide “generational fairness”. $2.6 billion will go towards easing education costs and creating more job opportunities for Millennials and Generation Z.The House votes for possible TikTok ban in the US. Will it really go away?She said that and other new programs will be covered, in part, by raising the capital gains taxes on the wealthiest Canadians. But Guthrie believes that might result in businesses in town being negatively affected.
“We presented what we think is a progressive budget, one that is going to address fairness,” said Longfield. “But we also have to hear from other parliamentarians. That’s how Canada works. Hopefully we will hear from the NDP when the budget is discussed in the house.”
