What can the Canadian tech and innovation sector expect from #Budget2021? As the Government of Canada prepares to table its Budget 2021 on Monday, Canadian tech is wondering how much the sector will factor into the federal recovery plan. With much of Canada struggling with a third wave of COVID-19, the federal government’s recent efforts have been focused on near-term pandemic responses. However, as more vaccines are rolled out, eyes are turning to post-pandemic recovery. Current expectations are that the budget will focus on both pandemic measures and post-pandemic recovery. “What we’re really looking for is to see if the government understands how the economy has changed,” said Ben Bergen, executive director of the Council of Canadian Innovators, a lobbying group that advocates on behalf of more than 100 of Canada’s tech leaders.
