Federal Liberals to table 2026 Canadian budget amid trade tensions

The Federal Liberals will lay out next steps in their plan to fortify Canada’s economy when the 2026 budget is tabled today.

Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says the budget is about giving Canada a strong footing in an increasingly volatile world — marked by U.S. trade tensions and other global disruptions.

Champagne has hinted at some measures geared towards small and medium-sized businesses.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is keeping a close eye on some of the changes.
