In an increasingly turbulent world, Canada is determining our future. We have the strength to build. The discipline to deliver. And the values to take care of each other.
Budget 2026: Masters of our Destiny builds on Canada’s strengths to create a stronger, more independent, more competitive, and more affordable economy.
It is a plan for growth that puts people at its heart while strengthening Canada’s sovereignty and unity.
This budget accelerates investment, builds on Canada’s energy and natural resource advantage, and helps Canadians get ahead. It invests in our communities, culture, and natural heritage, advances reconciliation, and strengthens our sovereignty and security.
And it does so with the fiscal discipline needed to build a stronger Canada for the future.
