April means budget time in Canada. On the provincial front, we’ve seen a budget with few surprises, and the government has indicated that this budget will “see Saskatchewan through the rest of the pandemic and then into a strong economic recovery.” On the federal front, Canadian’s haven’t seen a tabled federal budget since 2019, as the COVID-19 pandemic left the government scrambling to protect the lives of Canadians. We know there has been a lot of spending to support Canadians, but how will this spending affect Canadians going forward?

Join us April 21 as our panel of experts dissect the Federal and Saskatchewan provincial budgets, and discuss the impacts on COVID recovery, the energy & environment sectors, and more.
