Freeland’s fall economic update to include measures for students and workers, pledge fiscal discipline

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will release a fall economic statement Thursday that includes new money for students and low-income workers, while also delivering a message that Ottawa is committed to fiscal discipline and won’t fan the flames of inflation.

Two government sources say the update will also include new details on the Canada Growth Fund, which was first announced in the April budget as a $15-billion plan to spur investment in a net-zero emission economy.
