Statement on Federal Budget 2026
Canada’s business leaders welcome the federal government’s 2026 budget, which reinforces efforts to transform our economy for the long-term through an investment-first economic plan.
This includes the government’s decision to expand 100% accelerated capital cost recovery across a wider range of capital-intensive assets, and to take other measures to incentivize and foster private sector investment. We agree that Canada could be on the cusp of an investment supercycle.
Increased investments in Canada benefit all Canadians through more jobs, higher wages and expanded government revenues to pay for social programs. We also welcome the affordability measures included in the budget.
Canada has a generational opportunity to change our economic trajectory, and the business community is ready to help deliver results. The ambition is there. Now we all need to focus on execution.
