‘Stay tuned. Very soon,’ Flaherty says when asked for a budget date

Here’s Finance Minister Jim Flaherty outside the House today when asked to name a date for the 2013 budget:

When can we expect a date for the budget? Sorry (inaudible) the question but I’ll keep asking it.

Flaherty:  I can’t hear you. Can you speak louder?

A date for the budget, sir. 

Flaherty:  I heard you. I heard you.  Stay tuned.  Very soon.  Not the budget but the date.  Very soon.

Next week? 

Flaherty:  Maybe sooner.
