Canada’s government requested parliamentary approval for C$22.1 billion in new voted spending when it tabled Supplementary Estimates (B) on November 6. The proposed funding spans defence, Coast Guard icebreakers, housing, child care, dental care, Indigenous services and assistance for sectors affected by tariffs.

The Treasury Board says the main estimates and both supplementary rounds together identify C$538.3 billion in planned budgetary spending for 2026–27. That total comprises C$263.7 billion in voted expenditures and C$274.6 billion in statutory spending already authorised under existing legislation. The figures describe the spending framework, not a finding that all the money has been disbursed.

Public Accounts and departmental results reports were also tabled November 6. Those records look back at financial results and departmental performance, while estimates seek authority for expenditures. The distinction matters when comparing an announced allocation with delivery: estimates specify amounts up to which organisations may spend, whereas Public Accounts show actual spending during the fiscal year.
