OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s 2026 budget aims to show an economy-obsessed government has put Canada’s long-standing social gaps near the top of the priority list with an $11.2-billion fund to “end” homelessness, billions in new funding for Indigenous infrastructure and supports, and a boost in tax benefits for low-income workers and families.
But the spectre of the trade war with the U.S. that has stalked Carney’s time in office still looms large in the new fiscal blueprint.
Booking $151.5 billion in new spending over the next five years, the government is pressing forth with massive business tax breaks designed to reduce Canada’s dependence on its largest commercial partner and increase profits for private investment inside this country.
