The CPC have released their costed platform. Here are the key details.
Over the next 5 years, they’re proposing $78 B in new spending, nearly the exact same as the LPC
They plan to save $27B by cancelling programs like $10 a day daycare, so the net total is $51 B in spending

The big ticket items are $24 B for doubling the Canada Worker Benefit over 5 years, $13 B to stimulate business investment and $9.7 B for fiscal stabilization. #cdnpoli
Two key items that didn't have costing, the Personal Low Carbon Savings account and their promise to bring high-speed Internet to everyone in Canada by 2025. #cdnpoli
The promise of an increase in health transfers for the provinces doesn't start for another 3 years, with the majority of the $60 B over 10 years coming at the back end of those years #cdnpoli
Even without 3% growth, which is what the original CPC platform was projecting, the CPC says they are able to get to a balanced budget within ten years.
Using the PBO growth projections, they say it would take seven years (2028-29) to get to balance #cdnpoli

One other point, the party did not release the supporting documents from the PBO to journalists but the PBO just released them on his website.

On health care, the PBO estimates the CPC plan will only increase health spending by $3.6 B over the next 5 years. So that means in from 2026 to 2031, they would need to spend $56.4 B to meet their $60 B over ten years election promise #cdnpoli
