The Liberal government will table the federal budget — the first under Prime Minister Mark Carney — in early November.

During Tuesday's question period, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the federal finances will be introduced on Nov. 4.

The early November date is later than the government had initially indicated. Carney said as early as May that the budget would come in October, and a number of ministers had stuck to that date when talking about the budget in recent days.

Just Monday morning, government House leader Steven MacKinnon indicated the budget would be brought forward next month during a news conference laying out the Liberals' fall agenda. WATCH | Finance minister announces date of budget:
