Coronavirus outbreak: Trudeau says there is no timeline for federal budget amid pandemic

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there is no timeline for when his government will table a federal budget because of the “extraordinary” uncertainty posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The government had been scheduled at the end of March to release its first budget since winning re-election as a minority. But that release was scrapped when the House of Commons suspended on March 13 as part of a nationwide shutdown to try to limit the spread of COVID-19.

During his daily briefing with journalists on Monday, Trudeau was asked when Canadians will see a full budget outlining the government’s spending priorities for the year, and said it’s hard to tell.
