It would be difficult for me to explain how they differ because the strategic policy reviews of budget 2022 did not have that much detail. We inquired with Department of Finance officials as to what had happened with the strategic policy review in budget 2022, which was aimed at providing savings of $9 billion. We asked them if our interpretation that it had been cancelled was correct. They said that yes, it was correct.
You're right that there are additional or new spending restraint measures announced in the budget. There is a refocusing of government spending, notably reducing spending on consulting, professional services and travel, as well as reducing eligible spending by government departments and agencies and in Crown corporations. Together, this totals about $15 billion over a number of years.
There is the cancellation of the strategic policy review, but also new spending reviews, for a total of $15 billion in the budget.
