Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne introduced their spring economic update yesterday.
The update shows a lower-than-forecasted deficit for the fiscal year that ended last month...helped along by revenue from surging oil prices.
It also had a big focus on skilled trades recruitment...80,000 to 100,000 new skilled trades workers within the next five years to keep building homes and help with national interest projects.
Among a few other changes in the economic update, we'll also be paying a wee bit less in CPP rates.
