Federal Budget Day on Parliament Hill

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will present the federal budget in the House of Commons at 4:00 p.m. today.

OTTAWA - It's budget day on Parliament Hill.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is expected to deliver the Trudeau Government's federal budget in the House of Commons at 4:00 p.m. today.

Keeping up with tradition, Freeland bought a new pair of shoes yesterday that she will be wearing for the budget presentation. She decided to go with a pair of black pumps that she bought from Canadian retailer Simons.

There are reports the budget will address affordability, crack down on predatory lending and provide a temporary boost to the GST rebate due to rising grocery prices. It's also expected to include new tax credits for the green economy and a plan to go after hidden surcharges tacked on to the prices of goods and services. 

In a post on Twitter, Freeland says the budget will include stronger health care supports and investments that will support careers in a clean economy.
