• The 2009 federal budget of the government of Canada features a $5-million plan to establish an independent task force that will make recommendations to the Minister of Finance on a cohesive national strategy on financial literacy. The task force, which is expected to be launched in the spring 2009, will include representatives of the business and education sectors, volunteer organizations and academics, and will be supported by a federal secretariat. To implement the national strategy on financial literacy, the government has allocated $2 million for 2009-2010 and $3 million for 2010-2011, for a total of $5 million over two years. The measure is one of several budget initiatives intended to help consumers of financial products by ensuring they have access to clearly communicated information.
