Abstract
As any reader of Wildavsky knows, budgets and budgeting can be studied on many levels. In this paper, we focus on structures and process issues in Canadian government budgets particularly as they pertain to federal arrangements. The argument to be developed is that Canadian government budgets are in many ways quintessentially Canadian; they reflect the larger compromises struck within a government and within the federation, often in imaginative ways, and sometimes along the way they create confusion.
