Catalyst, not cost centre. That’s the plan.
Budget 2025 focuses on spending less on bureaucracy and more on productivity and nation-building, modern, efficient services.
We’ll save $13B/yr by '29 & invest the savings into future.

Attended Empty Bowls on Sunday, alongside Hon. Stephen Crawford and Mayor Rob Burton, in support of our local org Home Suite Hope. When a community comes together, we turn compassion into concrete support for families working toward stability. And it is this message that a simple meal carries.

Budget 2025 is about building Canada Strong.
Lower costs, more homes, better jobs, and stronger security, so families feel it where it counts. From Buy Canadian to faster builds and a real productivity push, this is a pivot from reliance to resilience.
Let’s get it done.

For decades, our economy has grown more integrated with, and therefore dependent on, the United States. Tomorrow, we choose a different path, one where Canada builds new partnerships, builds on what we can control, and Builds Canada Strong. #Budget2025
