MPs agree to fast-track study of budget bill, with confidence vote to follow

Government House leader Steven MacKinnon introduced a motion after question period that sets finance committee timelines, and MPs agreed to fast-track a study of the government's main budget bill.
MPs must submit proposed amendments by noon on Feb. 19, and the finance committee must complete clause-by-clause deliberations by Feb. 23 with its final report due Feb. 25.
The House of Commons will be able to begin final debate on the committee report the next sitting day, and a final House vote can take place once that debate concludes.
That vote will serve as a vote of confidence for the minority Liberal government on the budget bill.
According to The Canadian Press's Feb. 13, 2026 report, this report was first published on Feb. 13, 2026.
