Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the federal Liberals will table a budget on April 19.
It will be the first federal budget in over two years, after the government opted not to introduce one in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in Canada.
It will also be Freeland's first budget as finance minister.
She took on the portfolio last summer following Bill Morneau's resignation.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the budget date in the House of Commons today during question period.
The budget is expected to provide a full accounting of all government spending through the pandemic, which has sent the deficit for the fiscal year to almost $400 billion.
