Champagne, Carney travelling across country to sell federal budget to Canadians
- On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne began a cross-country tour promoting the 2026 budget released Thursday, which outlines a plan to end homelessness in Canada within a decade.
- The government committed $11.2 billion over four years and $17.8 billion over a decade to address an estimated 65,000 homeless Canadians through the Integrated Supports Fund.
- Sara Goldvine, chief operating officer at Coast Mental Health in Vancouver, said "significant progress" can be made, though long-term housing requires "wraparound supports in place" for success.
- Carney visited Winnipeg on Friday with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew to highlight the measures, while the Liberals' majority mandate allows them to pass their agenda without external support.
- Opposition leaders argued the spending falls short regarding the high cost of living, while the plan allocates funds to the Canada Housing Benefit and 360 transitional housing units.
