UNBC Political Science Lecturer Jason Morris is of the opinion Budget 2021 is a return to deficits and debt as the government continues to navigate through a pandemic.
He believes the short-term benefit of this approach is helping people out but can also prove to be a barrier due to the possibility of higher taxes.
Morris told Vista Radio the philosophy on how the budget is presented has changed in recent years.
“I think what is interesting is that budgets used to be about how the economy is doing and what the government is going to do about that but there are almost entirely today about social policy. The government is putting a high priority on child and end of life care.”
