Let's Talk Budget 2023

After nearly three years of historic turmoil, Canada is navigating a changing global economy—one that is presenting both challenges and opportunities for Canadians and Canadian businesses.

The federal government is focused on building a resilient economy that works for everyone, and ahead of Budget 2023, we want to hear your ideas about how to help Canadians succeed while building stronger, greener, more competitive, more innovative, and more inclusive Canadian economy.

This is your opportunity to share what is most important to you! What challenges do you see ahead of us? What should the government be focused on? What great ideas do you have?

The questionnaire will take about five minutes to answer and will be available until February 10, 2023.

In addition, Canadians are welcome to their ideas and comments with the Department of Finance through the Formal Submission button below.

Premier Doug Ford issued the following statement to mark the start of the New Year:

“As we turn over the calendar to begin a new year, it’s important to take a moment and reflect on just how far we’ve all come over the past twelve months.

I have been so proud to see the Team Ontario spirit on full display as the people of this province got back together and back to business. As Premier, I’m particularly proud of the progress our government has made implementing our plan to build Ontario.

Our government passed new legislation that will help achieve our goal of building 1.5 million homes over 10 years. This next step in our plan will ensure cities, towns and rural communities grow with the mix of housing types they need, so that more families can realize the dream of home ownership.
