The Liberal government will not be tabling a budget after the House of Commons returns shortly, but will instead table a Fall Economic Statement, according to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
“We’re going to be introducing ways and means motions as we enter back into Parliament, we‘ll table legislation, then there’ll be a throne speech, and then we'll present a fall Economic Statement,” Champagne told reporters in Parliament on May 14 following the government’s first cabinet meeting.
