The theme seems to be "reduce operating spending, increase capital spending". We'll see how that will blow over with the opposition.

That makes companies find the most efficient ways to reduce their footprints, rather than the government mandating it for each group. This is the approach favoured by most serious economists

And it is the approach Carney favored in his book (which was written several years before he decided to run for office)

Not at all surprised to hear that! (The book is sitting on my shelf, unread and judging me.)
