Canada’s newly released federal budget emphasizes reducing dependence on the United States and diversifying trade. It sets aside C$11.2 billion to begin an effort to end homelessness within a decade and puts committed trade-war relief for workers and businesses at C$44 billion. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the operating budget, which excludes large projects and military equipment, would be balanced within the coming year.
