MPs to vote on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget today
- On Nov. 17, 2025, Members of Parliament will decide the main budget motion in the House of Commons, determining if Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals can continue governing.
- The Liberal government tabled the budget earlier this month, proposing nearly $90 billion in new spending over five years focused on capital projects and public-service cuts to offset U.S. tariff costs.
- The Liberals hold 170 seats but effectively have 169 votes with Francis Scarpaleggia, while NDP support would bring the total to 176 votes, enough to pass the budget.
- The immediate consequence of a loss would be the Liberal government falling and Canadians likely heading to another election, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne urging MPs to do some 'soul searching' ahead of the vote.
- With parties split, the New Democratic Party holds the balance as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and the Bloc Québécois oppose, Green Leader Elizabeth May remains undecided, and Alberta MP Laila Goodridge plans to vote on Nov 17.
