Government of Canada Launches Pre-Budget Consultations to Hear from Canadians
Ottawa, Ontario – February 14, 2025 – The Government of Canada has launched pre-budget consultations to gather input from Canadians on the upcoming federal budget. The consultations will provide Canadians with the opportunity to share their priorities and perspectives on the economic and fiscal challenges facing the country.
“The decisions we make in this budget will have a significant impact on the lives of Canadians,” said the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Finance. “That’s why it’s so important that we hear from Canadians across the country about their priorities and concerns.”
The consultations will be conducted through a variety of channels, including:
- Online survey: Canadians can share their views by completing an online survey at www.canada.ca/budget.
- Virtual town halls: Canadians can register to participate in virtual town halls with Minister Freeland and other government officials.
- Written submissions: Canadians can submit written submissions to the Department of Finance at budget2025@canada.ca.
- In-person meetings: Minister Freeland and other government officials will meet with Canadians in person across the country.
The consultations will focus on the following key themes:
- The economic outlook and the challenges facing Canada
- The government’s fiscal position and priorities
- Tax policy and fairness
- Investments in people and communities
- Climate change and environmental sustainability
The government is encouraging all Canadians to participate in the consultations and share their views. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2025.
“Your input will help us to develop a budget that reflects the priorities of all Canadians,” said Minister Freeland. “I encourage you to participate in the consultations and make your voice heard.”
The federal budget is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2025.
