	Canadian Capitalist » Federal Budget Highlights
		The bottom line is the budget contains roughly the same amount of personal income tax cuts (for employees) introduced by the Liberals in addition to the cut to the GST.
		All I am saying is in terms of the tax cuts in the budget, parents with young children get more money in their pocket due to the budget compared to other groups.
		My thoughts on this budget - while the net effects of tax cuts will be roughly the same as previously enjoyed under the Liberals’ November fiscal update, the Conservative plan is exceptionally complicated, with its weaving together of changes to rates, personal amounts, new tax credits, etc. as a appeal to multiple social policy avenues.

	Mapleleafweb.com: Canadian Federal Budget - The Budget and Canadian Democratic Tradition
		Every year, the federal government presents its budgets to Parliament in two ways: (i) with a Budget Speech given by the Minister of Finance, and (ii) with the a Tabling of the Estimates by the President of the Treasury Board.
		Not only is the parliamentary budget vote necessary for the Government to begin collecting and spending public monies for the upcoming year, but it is also a measure of the confidence the government enjoys, and so it is aptly named a vote of confidence or a confidence measure.
		Traditionally the Federal Budget was a very secretive process, and governments tended not to disclose any information on the Budget until the Finance Minister’s Budget Speech in the House.

	The federal budget
		But in the overall scheme of a federal government that spends roughly $220 billion annually, these as yet unspecified cutbacks — estimated at about $1 billion a year — should be relatively minor.
		The budget is a typical minority government budget, appeal to the most people you can so you can get a majority next time and implement the budget you want.
		All in all, a safe budget, one that reduces taxes overall, one that increases military and police spending, one that takes Kyoto wasted money and puts it into a Made In Canada climate change solution, and I'd say that Harper has appealed to everyone.
