2011 Federal Budget
Tuesday, June 28, 2011
On June 6, 2011, the Honorable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, re-introduced the federal Budget which
essentially contains all of the same tax measures as the Budget tabled on March 22, 2011. Although it
completes the government’s tax relief and spending provisions announced in last January’s “Economic
Action Plan” to help stimulate the economy, it is a more restrained Budget than the past few years. The
Budget contains no major surprises or significant shifts in government economic or fiscal policy.
Specifically, it does not propose to raise taxes or cut major transfers for health care, education or
pensioners. Instead, the Budget relies on cuts to defense spending and foreign aid, along with future
departmental spending freezes, to attempt to reduce the deficit by 2015.
While the Budget does not propose changes to corporate or personal tax rates, it does include proposals
to offer targeted tax relief, and to close certain tax “loopholes,” that will affect both businesses and
individuals. - Read More
