On November 5, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government unveiled Budget 2026 in Ottawa amid ongoing economic and trade uncertainty. The budget aims to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States by boosting domestic commerce within Canada and diversifying its trade. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne emphasized that the plan focuses more on building up Canada’s economy rather than the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump. Key measures include new affordability measures, business tax incentives, and investments in infrastructure, defense, and culture. The budget is Carney's second since taking office and his first as a majority government, likely ensuring its smooth passage through the House of Commons without significant opposition.
