It's budget day in Ottawa today.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty delivers the budget this afternoon.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty hopes it's one that meets the need of all Canadians.
"I'm going to be looking Mr. Harper to give us some kind of indication that he's interested in making Parliament work for every Canadian,"say Rafferty. "There's 1.5 million Canadians unemployed. Now is the time for Mr. Harper to invest in job creation. With senior poverty doubling in the last few years now is the time in this budget to ensure we don't have any seniors living in poverty in this country."
Rafferty also expects approval of the $4.3 billion dollars to Ontario for the implementation of the HST to come through the budget which he says would be disastrous for consumers.
