It is Budget Day on Parliament Hill.
The Trudeau Liberals are set to deliver their 2022 budget that is likely to promise billions in new spending.
The latest spending plan is expected to address housing affordability and cost-of-living concerns, while boosting defence spending and appeasing some demands from an N-D-P pact-partner that wants things like subsidized dental care and an extra tax on the profits of big banks and insurance companies.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will deliver the federal budget at 4 p-m Eastern Time.
