Yes, it's tax the rich - top 1% was mentioned. This is wise because the very rich have no alternatives but to stand still and be taxed, as has been shown repeatedly everywhere someone tries to tax the rich.
How much of the deficit gap is supposed to be closed?

All Canadian provinces now languish in bottom half of North American economic freedom rankings Nov. 09, 2023
For the first time, every Canadian province ranks in the bottom half of jurisdictions in our annual rankings of economic freedom in North America, finds a new report released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, public policy think-tank. Economic freedom—the ability of individuals to make their own economic decisions about what to buy, where to work and whether to start a business—remains fundamental to prosperity.
The report has two indexes: a sub-national index which measures restrictions on freedom at the province/state and local level and an all government index which adds federal restrictions. The trajectory of economic freedom in Canada could lead to weakness in economic growth and prosperity in the years ahead,” said Fred McMahon, the Dr. Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom at the Fraser Institute and co-author of this year’s Economic Freedom of North America report, which measures government spending, taxation and labour market restrictions using data from 2021 (the latest year of available comparable data).
“Since 2014, all Canadian provinces have suffered significant declines in economic freedom at the all-government level, while a majority of provinces also suffered declines at the subnational level,” McMahon added.
