Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne launched departmental consultations on budget 2026 this week, prioritizing submissions on boosting investment and competition, strengthening Canadian sovereignty and “addressing the most pressing economic challenges facing Canadians today.”
Organizations, businesses and individuals can participate until Sept. 8 by answering a questionnaire or uploading a formal submission.
“In the face of continued global uncertainty, Canada is standing strong and moving forward with confidence. Budget 2026 will be the next step in our government’s ambitious plan to build an economy that works for everyone—one that is ready to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. As we shape the next budget, it’s important we hear from you about what matters most,” Champagne said in a press release.
Champagne will also be meeting with stakeholders in a cross-country tour with Canada Revenue Agency and Financial Institutions Secretary of State Wayne Long and Parliamentary Secretary Ryan Turnbull. “These engagements will provide valuable opportunities to hear firsthand from individuals, businesses, industry and labour organizations, community leaders, academics, Indigenous partners, non-profit groups and other stakeholders about their experiences, concerns, and ideas for strengthening Canada’s future,” the government said.
Look for the Rural Prosperity Group’s submission soon, or read the submission we made to the House of Commons Finance Committee.
