Budget 2026

Call-to-action summary: 

Investments in education are transformative and critical to preventing conflict, building communities, and securing futures. Budget 2026 is fast approaching and presents a key opportunity. Canadian decision-makers need to hear that people across Canada want our government to invest in our world, support education, and stop the cuts. As advocates, we choose to fight for progress, health, and justice; we choose our world. And we need our government to do the same.

It’s important to let the government know that Canadians care about international aid so they can champion this issue as the budget is written. You can email the Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne (francois-philippe.champagne@parl.gc.ca) to let him know that Canadians don’t want to see international aid cut. Make sure to include your Member of Parliament (MP) in the email too!
