Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway says there are a number of measures in the federal budget that will have an impact to constituents in his riding.
Kelloway says a major plank in the federal government’s financial blueprint was housing; building more dwellings faster. Kelloway says there’s a continuation of incentives for municipalities to fast track the construction of homes under the Housing Accelator Fund, money to assist in creating infrastructure to build homes, and innovative housing developments.
Kelloway says other measures from the budget that will have a local impact include more money for child care spaces. There’s also funding for a new Canadian Disability Benefit, pharmacare, dental care, a school food program and more grants and interest free loans for post-secondary students.
