An electronic sign posting financial data is shown outside the Scotiabank building in Toronto Thursday, April 9, 2015. Scotiabank is the latest big Canadian bank to predict the federal government is on track for a bigger-than-expected deficit this year. (Frank Gunn/CP)OTTAWA – The federal Liberal government will update the country’s economic and fiscal progress Tuesday, hoping to encourage Canadians to focus on the potential of its long-term plan — and overlook the sting of multi-year, multibillion-dollar deficits.
The Liberals won last year’s election on a platform promising to help lift the slow-growth economy with billions worth of borrowing to fund more ambitious infrastructure and child-benefit programs for the long haul.

Dias said the “overwhelming majority” of the $700-million investment will be going to one of its two engine plants in Windsor, Ont.
He said the investment will put the plants “at the top of the food chain for powertrain operations.”
“This new engine will be the highest technology, will be the most fuel efficient, will have incredible torque, horsepower and will be put into Ford’s No. 1-selling vehicles throughout the North American chain,” he said at a news conference early Tuesday in Toronto…
