Liberals must now sell a budget they say will help younger Canadians catch up

It's now up to the federal Liberal government to sell a spending plan it says will help younger Canadians catch up to their elders.

So far, if unsurprisingly, their critics and political rivals are unimpressed.

The $535-billion budget seeks to restore economic fairness for millennials and gen-Z voters at a time when the minority government is ailing in the polls. 

It includes $8.5 billion over five years to help build millions of homes and another $2.6 billion for student aid and grant programs.
