Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Wednesday that the Liberals will deliver a fall economic statement; ostensibly a mini-budget.

But that’s no comfort given that the last fall statement the Liberals delivered in December 2024 under former prime minister Justin Trudeau , overshot their own deficit target of $40.1 billion for the 2023-24 fiscal year by 54% .

The Liberals’ failure to deliver a budget this year — the last time that happened was during the pandemic — is inexplicable.
