After doing a bit of research, I came to the conclusion that there was no Canadian federal budget presented in 2002. The federal budget archives doesn't list one, going straight from 2001 to 2003. This would make sense, because the 2001 budget was presented in december, and the 2003 budget was presented in february. To make sure, I searched "federal budget" in all La Presse articles from 2002 on www.eureka.cc, and didn't find anything relevant. Emass100 (talk) 10:49, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nominator is correct on this, as witness the fact that this article got created much later than either 2001's or 2003's, by a user who neither had much prior edit history nor stuck around much longer afterward rather than by the creator of the others, and is a much shorter stub because nobody's been able to add any information about a thing that didn't exist — and even the one cited source here doesn't support a 2002 budget, but was just an uncorrected copy-paste from 2004. I'll grant good faith user error rather than a deliberate attempt to mislead, but either way there was no new federal budget presented in 2002. Bearcat (talk) 16:50, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
