On July 6, 2026, Canada's Department of Finance announced the launch of pre-budget consultations ahead of Budget 2026, which the government will deliver in the fall. Minister of Finance and National Revenue François-Philippe Champagne said the consultations will gather input on key priorities including boosting investment and competition, strengthening sovereignty, and addressing pressing economic challenges facing Canadians. The consultation process invites Canadians to share their input through an online portal at Canada.ca/yourbudget until September 8, 2026. Feedback gathered through this portal will inform policy decisions for Budget 2026 and shape the government's overall priorities. The government aims to position Canada for long-term prosperity while building a strong economy, diversifying trade, and ensuring responsible fiscal management. Over the summer, Minister Champagne, alongside Secretary of State responsible for the Canada Revenue Agency and Financial Institutions Wayne Long, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance and National Revenue Ryan Turnbull, will engage directly with Canadians through meetings and discussions across the country. These engagements will provide opportunities to hear from individuals, businesses, industry and labour organisations, community leaders, academics, Indigenous partners, non-profit groups, and other stakeholders about their experiences, concerns, and ideas for strengthening Canada's future. Stakeholders and interested parties should submit their input through the online consultation portal by September 8, 2026. The feedback collected will directly inform Budget 2026 and the government's policy priorities moving forward.
