The federal Liberal govt. will table the budget on Nov. 4. The update was shared by Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. This is going to be the first fiscal update to be shared by the new Carney govt.

Usually the federal budget is tabled in the spring but the Liberals delayed this year's update until the fall.

The finance minister shared an image with PM Mark Carney and then shared the news on his X account and wrote:

Canada’s new government will table Budget 2025 on November 4th.

A budget to meet this moment. A budget to build the strongest economy of the G7. A budget to build the True North, Strong and Free.

Post:

PM Carney has billed the budget as one of both cost-cutting and investment. Ottawa says it's looking to protect Canada's economy against trade disruption.

To pass the budget in the fall session of Parliament, the minority Liberal govt. will need to get support from at-least one other party.
