Locked up with the budget

Article Abstract:

The Canadian government holds special 'secured budget briefings' every federal budget day for the press, tax practitioners, and select public officials. The three-and-a-half hour meetings enable accountants and businessmen to know what information the country's finance minister has to disclose for the general public. The participants are not allowed to communicate with the outside once the session has started due to the confidential nature of the meetings.
