The Liberal government's fall economic update, as reported by The Globe and Mail, outlines several key initiatives aimed at addressing economic challenges and promoting growth. It includes a commitment to reduce the federal deficit to below 1% of GDP by 2026-27, introduces a new tax credit for clean electricity investments, and proposes a 15% refundable tax credit for clean technology manufacturing. Additionally, there's a focus on housing with plans to build more homes, including a new $15-billion loan program for rental construction.
