The new Canadian government presented a stimulus budget seeking to revive economic growth with infrastructure and stated it would run a deficit almost three times larger than estimated last year.

The Liberal government said the fiscal budget was awaited to increase growth 0.5% in the first year and 1.0% in two years following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s party previously cautioned an oil price plunge devitalized the country’s economic view.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau estimated a CS$29.4 billion ($22.5 billion) deficit and mentioned the country would allocate C$3.97 billion ($3 billion) on infrastructure projects.

The Canadian premier vowed to break with Group of Seven counterparts by offsetting sluggish economic growth with fiscal stimulus.
