(Vancouver) While the Canadian government tables their 2007 Federal Budget, Kevin Newman and the Global National team will provide Canadians with live analysis of the budget details, bringing real-world perspective and insight on the major issues.
Joining Newman on this half-hour special is Ottawa bureau chief Jacques Bourbeau, and political correspondents Hannah Boudreau, Peter Harris and Ben O’Hara-Byrne, who will focus on the budget results and reactions from the Opposition. National Post’s Don Martin and a team of analysts and financial experts will deliver additional commentaries, breaking down the budget and making them relevant to viewers. Is the Harper government going to cut taxes to help Canadians? Will this budget be used as a spring board to an early election campaign?
Reporters Tara Nelson, Francis Silvaggio and Mike Armstrong will provide local context, speaking directly to Canadians on how their lives will be influenced by the government’s budget decisions.
The Global National newscast will follow at its regular scheduled time at 5:30 p.m. local.
