A local MP believes the recent federal economic outlook leaves something to be desired.
Tracey Ramsey says there were some "disappointing pieces" to the update from federal Finance Minister, Bill Morneau.
Morneau warned that the economic hurdles ahead may be "higher than expected."
The Trudeau government released its latest economic statement Tuesday, and it showed that slow growth is hurting the bottom line.
But the Liberals say they have a cure, in the form of a lending institution they hope will bring in billions of private-sector dollars.
Minister Morneau pledged to prime the pump with $35-billion in public funds as a way to bring in foreign capital.
Ramsey says her main concern is jobs. "Last week we had the finance minister telling youth in our country that they need to get used to the job turn and this precarious life and there's absolutely nothing in this economic update for new measures to create good jobs."
The projected deficit for this year is expected to be about $25-billion dollars, with no firm date for a return to balance.
