Episode description

With $432 billion in spending, it's safe to say not everything included in Tuesday's federal budget got its share of headlines. And for top-line items, that makes sense. Health care and the cost of living are things that impact every Canadian. 

But it can sometimes take a day or two to sort out all the rest—smaller line items that might matter a lot to some people, or long-awaited promises that have finally made it into the document. Or, on the flip side, to get through the entire document and realize what's not in there at all...

So what do you need to know about this budget that can't be summed up by a headline? And what will its real impact be down the road?

GUEST: Cormac Mac Sweeney, Parliament Hill reporter, CityNews
