The April 27 budget will be
broadcast live on television Thurs-
day, and the budget debate will be
carried by the House of Commons
- channel. I cannot yet tell you what
is gouig to be hi the budget. How-
ever, I can give you an overview of
how a budget is debated and
passed by the House of Commons.
Finance Minister Michael"Wilson
will introduce a motion that asks
for members of Parliament to
approve "in general, the budgetary
policy of the government", and
then deliver his budget speech. The
government must have the confi-
dence of the House of Commons to
continue in office, and the six days
of debate that follow- will be on
whether or not to pass this motion.
Mr. Wilson's speech will outline
how much money the government
expects to raise and to spend in the
coming year, announce changes to
taxes and to programs, and
describe the state of the economy.
After Mr. Wilson speaks, a repre-
sentative from the Liberals will
speak for about 15 minutes in
-.response, And
debate to be adjourned until the
next day.
Day One: The Liberal speaker
finishes his or her remarks and pre-
sents a motion that proposes to turn
the confidence motion into one of
non -confidence. If the Liberal
"amendment" were to pass, the
budget motion would read "this
House rejects the budget for the fol-
lowing reasons..."
Someone from the NDP will then
