Federal Budget commentary.

Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tabled the government‘s 2012 Budget in the House of Commons on Thursday, March 29. Leaving aside the government‘s re-presentation of its pre-election 2011 Budget, it was the first Budget presented by a majority government in Canada since 2004, and the first by a Conservative majority government in almost twenty years.

Presented in a 498-page document entitled:

"Economic Action Plan 2012: Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity."
the Budget will likely be considered to be favorable to businesses, as it includes provisions to increase funding for research and development, improve access to risk capital and extend the hiring tax credit for small businesses. It also focuses on reducing deficits and moving towards a balanced budget through spending restraint rather than increased taxation For a an examination and overall commentary on the budget, please download the federal budget commentary using the link below.
