Budget 2009: Canada's Federal Budget

Canada's federal budget for 2009 was tabled on January 27, 2009 at 4:00 pm EST by Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty in the House of Commons. Prior to the tabling of Budget 2009, the Department of Finance released a document in December 2008 called "Fiscal Stimulus: Budget 2009 Consultations" which provided "background for a discussion on potential initiatives to stimulate Canada's economy".

The main Department of Finance website has a link called Budgets where you can link to federal budgets back to 1995. Visit Budget 2009 for the new budget in HTML and PDF format as well as video clips, themes, the budget in brief and a link to the Throne Speech.
