OTTAWA — As they’re being pummelled in the polls and an increasing number of Canadians are rejecting the idea that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are still capable of managing everything from the economy to climate change, the government will seek Tuesday to recapture some public confidence.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will unveil what’s called the “fall economic statement,” a mid-year fiscal update that’s a mix of reporting on the government’s expenditures and current financial picture, a projection of how that picture might evolve in the coming months and any programs the government sees fit to introduce.
