on Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 11:15 PM |
Coming in the midst of a worldwide economic storm, the federal budget, on Tuesday, Jan. 27, will be one of the most important in Canadian history. Will it be what Canadians are looking for? Will the government stand or fall? Tune in to CBC News for the most comprehensive, in-depth coverage, live across CBC Television, CBC Newsworld, CBC Radio One and CBCNews.ca.
CBC TELEVISION AND CBC NEWSWORLD
Monday, Jan. 26
Parliament resumes Monday and CBC Television and CBC Newsworld broadcast The Speech >From The Throne, live, at 2 p.m. ET.
Tuesday, Jan. 27
CBC News has the budget covered wherever and whenever you want it, starting at 6 a.m. ET on CBC NEWS: MORNING with Heather Hiscox. Tune into CBC Newsworld throughout the day for continuing coverage.
CBC News senior parliamentary editor, Don Newman, will broadcast live from the foyer of the House of Commons from 2 p.m. ET – 4 p.m. ET on CBC Newsworld, collecting an array of political voices from the lobby. The coverage will begin with the first Question Period of the session, followed by a live pre-budget special. CBC News reporters will be live in Vancouver, Montreal, Fort McMurray and Oshawa, weighing-in on what the budget means regionally, and to specific industries (forestry, manufacturing, energy, the auto sector). Jeannie Lee will be at the TSX in Toronto reporting on business reaction to the budget.
Beginning at 4 p.m. ET, on both CBC Television and CBC Newsworld, CBC News chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge anchors live, as the budget is tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. CBC News leading political analysts Don Newman, Keith Boag and Susan Bonner will report live from Parliament Hill. Jeff Rubin, chief economist at CIBC World Markets, will also comment. Mansbridge is also joined by AT ISSUE, Canada’s most watched political panel with Chantal Hébert, national affairs columnist, Toronto Star; Andrew Coyne, national editor, Maclean’s; and Allan Gregg, one of Canada’s best known pollsters and founder of Harris/Decima.
After the budget is tabled, analysis will continue on CBC Newsworld with CBC NEWS: POLITICS at 5 p.m. ET, including political reaction—will the Opposition support it or will Canadians go back to the polls? CBC NEWS: POLITICS will rebroadcast at 8 p.m. ET, 10 p.m. ET and 12 am PT on CBC Newsworld.
On CBC NEWS: THE NATIONAL, at 10 p.m. on CBC Television (10:30 p.m. NT), and 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET/PT on CBC Newsworld, Peter Mansbridge will interview Jim Flaherty for his thoughts on this year’s budget. And the AT ISSUE panel returns for a hard look at what this year’s budget means for Canadians
In addition, THE BOTTOM LINE panel of Patricia Croft in Toronto (chief economist for RBC Global Asset Management.), Mark Mullins in Vancouver (executive director of the Fraser Institute) and Jim Stanford in Toronto (economist for Canadian Auto Workers) will offer further insight and commentary.
