2020 Canadian federal budget

The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 2020–2021 was initially supposed to be presented to the House of Commons by Finance Minister Bill Morneau on March 30, 2020.[1] However, this was delayed due to the 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Canada.[2]

On 17 June 2020, Justin Trudeau announced that the finance minister will table a fiscal and economic snapshot on 8 July 2020. This document would be shorter than a budget or even a regular Fall Economic Statement as it would not incorporate medium or long-term projections. Conservative and Bloc oppositions have criticized the government for lack of transparency and asked for a more comprehensive document to be tabled.[3]
