UPDATE 1-FACTBOX-Five facts about Canada's budget package
(Adds permanent tax cuts)
OTTAWA Jan 26 (Reuters) - Canada's Conservative government has already revealed some details of its upcoming budget and stimulus package in the days leading up to the official release of its spending plan on Tuesday at 4 p.m. (2100 GMT).
Following are five facts about the budget:
* Ottawa predicts it will run a C$34 billion ($28 billion) deficit in 2009-10 and a C$30 billion deficit the following fiscal year. This will be the first deficit since 1996-97.
* Excluding economic stimulus measures, independent forecasts are for a 2009-10 deficit of between C$10 billion and C$20 billion.
* The government has so far earmarked: C$7 billion for infrastructure; C$2 billion for social housing; C$1.5 billion for worker training; C$1 billion for a fund to aid single-industry towns hardest hit by the recession; and C$550 million for farmers.
* The budget will contain permanent tax cuts, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said.
* If all three opposition parties vote against the budget in coming days, the government would fall, prompting either a snap election or the formation of an opposition coalition government. The chief opposition leader, Michael Ignatieff, said this week Canada needed an early election "like a hole in the head".
