The 2018 fiscal blueprint — revealed by federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Tuesday — builds on priorities laid out by the Liberals in their previous two budgets. Finance Minister Bill Morneau gets an ovation as he arrives in the House of Commons prior to tabling the Liberal's federal budget in Ottawa on Feb.27, 2017. It says annual deficits after that will drop at a faster rate than expected, finally dropping below $10 billion in 2022. In the fall update, Morneau had promised a $500 million boost to the Working Income Tax Benefit. That builds on the recommendations by a review panel last year led by David Naylor that called for federal investments in fundamental science.
