Budget 2006―Focusing on Priorities
Introduction
Budget 2006 is about focusing on priorities. It delivers real results for people in a focused and fiscally responsible way.
As the measures outlined in this plan make clear, this budget makes federal spending more transparent, accountable and disciplined, while creating greater opportunity for Canadians, investing in our families and communities, and making our streets safer and our borders more secure.
It also delivers more tax relief than the last four federal budgets combined―putting more than twice as much into tax relief than new spending.
Budget 2006 also provides a framework for discussion to restore fiscal balance in Canada, based on fundamental principles all Canadians can support.
By addressing clear priorities in accountability, opportunity, families and communities, and security―while laying the foundation for budgets to come―Budget 2006 charts a new course for building a better Canada.
