This session, the committee met 47 times to examine legislation, study government spending, and hear directly from experts, businesses, labour organizations, municipalities, Indigenous communities, charities, and other stakeholders from across the country. We also reviewed key measures in Budget 2025 and the Spring Economic Statement, while launching our Pre-Budget Consultations for Budget 2026.

As part of these consultations, she heard from approximately 80 witnesses and received more than 1,300 submissions from Canadians and organizations across the country. Their perspectives helped inform the committee’s recommendations for the next federal budget.

Parliament has risen for the summer.  Gould will listen to the people she meets with during the conversations shaping Canada’s economic future.
