8 BACKGROUND & METHODOLOGY The Student Budget Consultation is a civic education and financial literacy program for high school students across Canada. The process gives young people an opportunity to learn about government and public policy, debate varying viewpoints and offer their own opinion on the priorities of the federal budget. In conjunction with the 2018 Federal Budget, Canadian high school students were consulted on budget priorities using online and paper-based questionnaires. In total, more than 7,000 students from every province and territory in Canada participated between November 2017 and February Canadian census data has been used to weight the findings to reflect the actual population distribution by province of Canadians between the ages of 12 and 18. Due to rounding, percentages presented throughout this document may not add up to 100 per cent and precisely reflect the absolute figures. is a national registered charity dedicated to building the habits of active and engaged citizenship among young Canadians. CIVIX provides experiential learning opportunities to help young Canadians practice their rights and responsibilities as citizens and connect with their democratic institutions.
