OTTAWA – Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled a budget with higher deficits, higher spending and higher taxes on the country’s wealthiest people, as the Liberals revealed a spending plan designed for younger Canadians.

Freeland introduced the budget Tuesday after already having revealed much of its contents in the weeks before. In last fall’s fiscal update, Freeland forecast a deficit of $40 billion for the fiscal year that has just ended, a number she hit.
