March 1, 2022 – Ottawa, Ontario – Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

The Government of Canada is committed to providing all Canadians, including parliamentarians, with insight into government spending in an open, transparent, and accountable manner.

Today, the Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board, tabled in the House of Commons the Main Estimates for Government of Canada departments and agencies, for fiscal year 2022-23.

The Main Estimates present the government’s ongoing commitment to meeting Canadians’ priorities, including elderly and student benefits, transfers to provinces for health care, and funding to support climate action goals. The government also continues to provide economic support to individuals and businesses for a resilient COVID-19 post-pandemic recovery.

By tabling these estimates in Parliament, the government is ensuring that Canadians have a clear picture of how taxpayer money will be allocated. The government also publishes detailed data, through tools such as GC InfoBase, to provide enhanced transparency on plans, progress, and results.
