Federal budget’s fiscal targets unlikely to be met, interim PBO says

November 14, 2025

The interim Parliamentary Budget Officer released a report Friday that includes strong criticism of the Liberal government’s 2025 budget, saying it takes an overly broad definition of capital spending and includes fiscal targets that are unlikely to be met.

One key element of the Nov. 4 budget was a new financial presentation that divides all spending into either operational or capital spending.
