The Department of Finance is holding its 2025 Pre-Budget Consultations. The Department is asking Canadians to share ideas and priorities for how “to better shape Canada’s future” in light of “unprecedented challenges facing our country.”
This is a great opportunity to share with the government the challenges and opportunities facing your organization. You can share your own ideas about the best ways forward and what you think the government should prioritize in the next budget.
One of the easiest ways to participate is to complete the Questionnaire. You can complete it in your capacity as a charity representative or as an individual. It’s a short set of three multiple-choice and one open-ended question:
- How can the government build one strong economy today and for the future?
- What are the most important ways the Government of Canada can help Canadians in their day to day lives?
- What is your highest priority when it comes to Canada’s defence and security?
- What is one suggestion you have for how the federal government can support you or your community? (255 character limit)
It then asks more individual questions, such as where you live, your age, your gender, other identifying characteristics, in what capacity you are completing the survey (individual, business owner, charity representative, etc.), and your income.
Alternatively, you can make formal submissions.
Consultations are open until August 28, 2025.
