Carney and Champagne Launch Post-Budget Tour in Ottawa and Montreal

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois-Philippe Champagne make their way into the House of Commons for the tabling of the federal budget on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne are hitting the road today to promote the federal government’s newly tabled budget, beginning with events in Ottawa and Montreal.

Carney is scheduled to host a post-budget event in Ottawa this morning, where he will outline the government’s priorities before joining the Liberal caucus for its first meeting since Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont crossed the floor to join the party.

Meanwhile, Champagne will take the government’s message to Montreal, where he is set to participate in an armchair discussion with business leaders. The finance minister is expected to highlight what he has described as “generational investments” aimed at strengthening Canada’s economy, creating high-paying jobs, and supporting workers most affected by global trade disruptions.

The 2025 budget, Carney’s first as prime minister, projects a $78.3-billion deficit while pledging billions in new spending on infrastructure, innovation, and workforce development. The government argues these measures are necessary to secure long-term growth, even as it faces criticism over the scale of the deficit and planned cuts to the federal public service.

Today’s events mark the beginning of what is expected to be an intensive post-budget sales campaign, as the Liberals seek to convince both Canadians and opposition parties of the merits of their fiscal strategy.
