The big picture
On March 22, 2016, the Liberal government delivered its first budget. Set against challenging economic conditions with stalling commodity prices and increased market volatility, the government followed through on its promises to increase sprending on infrastructure, as well as overhaul the child benefit system. There were also a number of important tax and policy changes that will be of interest to Canadian investors. These follow numerous tax changes that were implemented at the end of 2015.
