Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and his department will be using Twitter to chronicle Flaherty's day as he prepares to deliver the budget.
The department is also planning to post links to budget graphics and videos via Twitter. All of it will be branded with the hashtag #eap13, which is short for "economic action plan," the phrase the government uses to refer to the budget.
