Ottawa raking in billions more than expected thanks to inflation and natural resource revenue
The federal government could be on track to take in almost $20-billion more in taxes and other revenue this year than had been expected less than six months ago, potentially handing Prime Minister Mark Carney much more room in his second budget to cut taxes, trim Canada’s massive deficit or spend.
uncertain
government → rake → deficit
But economists warn that it would be a mistake for the Liberal government to view the extra revenue as a windfall or a long-term trend.
asserted
government → warn → windfall
