Carney Government Sets Nov. 4 Date for First Federal Budget

The Liberal government will present its first federal budget under Prime Minister Mark Carney on November 4, Finance Minister François‑Philippe Champagne announced during question period in the House of Commons.

The government has already committed billions in new spending on defence and infrastructure since taking office.

With the Liberals holding a minority, the budget will require support from at least one other party to pass in the fall session of Parliament.
