Minister: Justin Tang and Parliament Hill

Justin Tang / THE CANADIAN PRESS What's clear is that our approach has worked. Titled Investing in the Middle Class, the budget puts a bookend on the Liberals' four years in power with a dash of new spending and no promise to balance the books in the short term. We've put in place investments that allow families to have more money in their pocket, and they've put that money back into the economy and our economy has done well, Finance Minister Bill Morneau told reporters. Morneau said Tuesday's budget builds on the initiatives of the government's past budgets, notably the income tax cut and the child benefit, two measures that he said have meant an extra 2,000 a year for a family of four and have lifted almost 280,000 children out of poverty. The budget is filled with an array of measures that target Canadians across demographic lines and geography, giving Liberals plenty of opportunities to reannounce budget measures across the country in the weeks and months ahead.
