Canadians can usually expect the federal government to present in February or early March each year, especially after a government has been in power since 2015, but the Liberals are taking their sweet time with the 2021 federal budget.
The next fiscal year starts on April 1 and MPs have been given no indication of what the budget is going to look like, outside of the fact that everyone at this point expects a Liberal government to run a massive deficit, and the longer the time it takes to present the budget the less fiscal restraint is to be expected.
