Observers of the federal government’s budget, announced Monday, say it is intended to provide something for everyone as the country struggles with the COVID-19 pandemic and dreams of returning to a healthy economy.
“It’s been billed as ‘something for everyone’ and I do believe that to be true because this pandemic has affected everyone. There hasn’t been one person not affected by this,” said Sault MP Terry Sheehan, speaking to SooToday.
“What I like about this budget is that it’s responding to the needs of Canadians, of Saultites, businesses, workers and organizations.”
