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]
