Will fiscal restraints put stop to big election promises?

Voters may not see any more big announcements or tax promises before the October 19 federal election, reports CTV News.

CTV says, “The Conservatives and NDP have spent the first month of the campaign adding only a handful of big ticket spending items to the list they unfurled months before the official election call. [And], number-crunching by The Canadian Press shows they don’t have the fiscal space to announce much more.”
