Canada's economy is facing a "turbulent" year, but the federal government still has some spending room for big priorities including a new health-care deal with the provinces, Associate Finance Minister Randy Boissonnault said on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.

The situation is leading to calls on the federal government to use the current snarl in global supply chains to become more active in rethinking and reshaping the country's reliance on foreign suppliers. 

The central bank's research agenda on climate change was announced this week by its senior deputy governor.

The decision to hike the interest rate arrived in the middle of a trade dispute between Canada and the United States that’s expected to hurt both economies.
