As the world emerges from COVID-19, the government’s focus is on jobs and growth.

Pre-budget consultations are a way for Canadians from across the country to share their ideas and priorities. We want to hear your very best ideas on how to create new jobs and build a greener, more competitive, more innovative, more inclusive, and more resilient Canada.

We want to hear your very best ideas for how we can stimulate job creation, strengthen and grow the middle class, and build a better economy for everyone.
