Quick Glance: Macklem Sees Limited Impact of Canada Budget on Fiscal Direction
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent budget, which balanced increased spending with a capital gains tax hike and improved revenue forecasts, did not significantly contribute to inflationary pressures.
- Macklem informed reporters on Friday that the budget did not alter the government's fiscal trajectory significantly compared to the November fiscal update. It was highlighted that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland upheld her commitment regarding deficit maintenance and shortfall reduction goals for the future.
- The Governor emphasized the continued adherence of the budget to these guidelines, which was deemed beneficial. He refrained from delving into specific details of budget measures, emphasizing the responsibility of lawmakers to deliberate on the government's fiscal plan.
- Macklem expressed that the latest three inflation indicators showed a sustained downward trend, with the bank awaiting confirmation that this trend will persist to ensure the progress towards price stability is maintained.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
- The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.
- With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.
- Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.
- Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.
