Better know your government finances

The Macleans.ca team has put together a special budget page with interactive charts on government revenues and expenditures, deficits, surpluses and public debt.

Paul Wells, John Geddes and Tamsin McMahon are currently sequestered with the federal budget and will emerge at 4pm EST with thorough coverage. I’ll be taking in the scene on Parliament Hill and keep an eye on Erica Alini’s Econowatch for news and notes throughout the day.
