Government seeking ideas from people and businesses on how to continue protecting and building Ontario
As part of its plan to protect Ontario and build a more competitive, resilient and self-reliant province, the government is launching consultations to help inform the 2026 Ontario Budget. These consultations will build on the progress outlined in the 2025 Fall Economic Statement and support the next phase of the province’s plan to protect Ontario.
“As we prepare for the 2026 Budget, we want to hear directly from the people of Ontario about what matters most to them, from keeping costs down and taxes low, to creating good jobs and getting shovels in the ground on critical infrastructure,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance. “Together, we will continue to navigate global challenges, safeguard our economy and ensure Ontario remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
To ensure the 2026 Budget reflects the priorities of people and businesses across the province, the government is seeking input from workers, families, business owners, organizations and communities on what they want to see addressed in the year ahead. Ontarians can share and submit their ideas by:
- Attending an in-person consultation meeting held across the province
- Sending a written submission by mail or online
- Completing an online survey
Through a responsible, balanced approach and strong fiscal management, the Ontario government says it will continue to invest in workers, businesses, and the world-class public services people rely on, while maintaining the flexibility needed to respond to rapidly changing global conditions.
