Green Party of Canada Criticizes Liberal 2025 Budget
The Prime Minister has stated that Canadians should be prepared for sacrifice.
Elizabeth May, Green Party Leader, and Mike Morrice, former Green MP, highlight the winners and losers in the budget.
The budget is full of sacrifices for programs Canadians rely on — climate action and nature, and healthcare expansion — but not for billionaires, multinationals, and foreign-owned fossil fuel giants.
- Canada's climate commitment under the Paris Agreement is lost.
- The oil and gas cap is gone, along with numerous climate-related programs.
- Oil and gas production is increased.
The "Productivity Super-Deduction" aims to reduce Canada's marginal effective tax rate to compete with international tax rates.
