The government said the plan includes infrastructure spending, measures to create jobs and a declining deficit
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne introduced their Spring Economic Statement earlier this week in Ottawa.
The federal government said the update focuses on building a stronger and more resilient economy while offering targeted relief for Canadians facing high costs.
Local Conservative MP Michael Barrett said he hoped for a greater focus on reducing fuel costs beyond the recent suspension of the gas excise tax.
Barrett outlined the reductions his party is proposing to lower gas prices.
The government said the plan includes infrastructure spending, measures to create jobs and a declining deficit.
It also announced initiatives such as the Canada Strong Fund and expanded skilled trades training.
