Tuesday's federal budget offers a glimpse into how dozens of government departments plan to rein in spending following this summer's comprehensive expenditure review.

The review aimed to find "ambitious savings" of up to 15 per cent over three years. The results were included with the budget, which still needs to pass a confidence vote.

(Full department listing in the article.)

Eh... Even better to tax wealth or increase income taxes at higher tax brackets.

It's a shame that the Liberals backed off increasing capital gains inclusion above $10K (iirc?) to ⅔ instead of ½. That would have made a big difference on its own, and the cost to implement that change would be very low, presumably—people are already responsible for calculating their capital gains; this would just make it a 3-step calculation instead of a 2-step calculation.
