Finance minister says budget will have no surprises, make ‘generational investments’
Finance Minister Champagne’s budget aims to boost Canadian investment amid U.S. trade tensions and requires opposition support to pass in the minority government.
- On Nov. 3, 2025, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said he will table a federal budget tomorrow in Saint-Tite, Quebec, promising generational investments and no surprises.
- Facing parliamentary arithmetic, the Liberal minority government is three votes shy and needs support or abstention from opposition MPs to pass the budget and avoid an early election.
- Interim NDP leader Don Davies said his caucus will wait to see the budget and has not ruled out some of the seven NDP MPs abstaining, while Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet says the Bloc's 22 votes depend on non-negotiable demands.
- The immediate test is the confidence vote, which could trigger a Christmas election as Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is `100 per cent` confident in the budget and ready to defend it.
- The budget positions Canada to boost investment and shift trade away from an increasingly protectionist U.S. under President Donald Trump, funding defence, affordable housing and tariff relief for steel, aluminum and auto sectors.
