We need to move the needle on long-term growth

Robert Asselin applauds the recent federal budget for investments in child care, skills, life biosciences, and clean technology. However, his concerns for a lack of a long-term growth plan is also highlighted in an article by Politico.

“After doubling our federal debt in only six years, and spending close to a trillion dollars, not moving the needle on long-term growth would be the worst possible legacy of this budget.”
