#budget2025

Zero : "French"
"Francophone"
"linguistic (services or else)"

2: "minority"

11: "climate change" (if you remove the 9 mentions of the department)

16: LNG

(yes they mention LNG more often than climate change)

34: oil

54: carbon capture

That's for 493 pages.

Oh no, I just saw by accident the section about Parks Canada. (caps are mine)

#budget2025

To meet up to 15 per cent in savings targets over three years, the Parks Canada Agency (PC) will maximize efficiencies while continuing to deliver services to Canadians by refocusing its organisational structure and business unit functions to avoid duplication of work, as well as ceasing or reducing LOWER PRIORITY activities, such as LIBRARY SERVICES.

PC will also focus on providing visitor services that are aligned with its core business, like limiting PC’s participation and presence in off-site community events and festivals.

Let's help housing by.. abolishing the empty homes tax face_melting

#budget2025

The Underused Housing Tax (UHT) took effect on January 1, 2022 and applies to certain owners of vacant or underused residential property in Canada, generally non-resident, non-Canadians. The UHT is imposed on an annual basis at a rate of 1 per cent on the value of the property.

Budget 2025 proposes to eliminate the UHT as of the 2025 calendar year. As a result, no UHT would be payable and no UHT returns would be required to be filed in respect of the 2025 and subsequent calendar years.

@stephanie It's going to age poorly when the AI market crashes in the next year or two. But I guess every government thinks they will be the ones to definitely make the public service more Up to Date and Efficient and Unify All The Systems.
