MP Lapointe: Pre-Budget Consultations

Canadians called for change in the recent election, and this government is moving decisively to deliver it. Budget 2025 will deliver on the new government’s mandate to bring down costs, keep communities safe, diversify trade, and build one strong Canadian economy. With a responsible fiscal plan – we will spend less, invest more, and firmly establish Canada as an economic force for decades to come.

As the Government of Canada prepares for the tabling of Budget 2025 in the fall, it is launching nationwide pre-budget consultations. Canadians can participate in the consultations by sharing their thoughts on key issues at http://Canada.ca/yourbudget until August 28, 2025.

Consultations will focus on bringing down costs and putting more money back into the pockets of Canadian families – and progress has already been made on key commitments. To enhance affordability the government introduced the middle-class tax cut, saving two-income families up to $840 each, and removed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on new homes under $1 million for first-time buyers. The government has also committed to bolster Canada’s defence industrial capacity. [Identify / expand on further measures].

The upcoming budget, with the input gathered today, will put forward a responsible fiscal plan – one that will build a new, united Canadian economy, and position Canada as an economic force on the global stage for decades to come.
