What happened
Mark Carney met with mayors from Winnipeg and Montreal to discuss budget measures and municipal collaboration. The Liberal government’s 2026 budget includes an ambitious housing agenda, aiming to eliminate homelessness within ten years. The plan proposes establishing an Integrated Supports Fund for transitional housing with mental health and addiction supports, and allocating billions to the Canada Housing Benefit over the next decade.
Why it matters
The budget requires collaboration among provinces, territories, and municipalities to implement the housing agenda. The plan includes new funding and supports for homelessness initiatives, which some support workers are applauding as a significant investment in both housing and mental health.
