In the past, whenever I needed to refer to the coalition agreement that members of the Liberal caucus signed, I could just go to Liberal.ca and find it. However, imagine my surprise when I tried to find it as an election looms in which Michael Ignatieff will be dogged daily by a question he seems to be unwilling to answer: that of a coalition with the other two parties if Stephen Harper should again win a plurality of seats in the House of Commons.

The Federal Budget

I’ll be in the budget lockup for stakeholders in a few minutes. Peter Coleman and I will be going over the budget in detail and will be providing updates concerning our reaction on the budget. I’ll also be providing some colour in between details of the budget. Will news of nods to the NDP satiate Layton and give him reason to vote for the budget? Will details of corporate tax cuts and rosy fiscal projections be washed over by a raft of goodies (spending and credits) in what we may see as a “boutique budget”?

Where will the deficit be? Will we see it go further south than TD Bank’s $39.5B projection?

You can catch all of these updates easily by here by tuning in at 4pm EST.
