The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, is scheduled to deliver economic remarks and participate in armchair discussions in both Toronto and Ottawa on November 2, according to an advisory from the Department of Finance Canada.
The Minister's first appearance will take place in Toronto, Ontario, where he will speak and participate in an armchair discussion hosted by the Canadian Club of Toronto. During this event, Champagne will outline the federal government’s core economic priorities leading into Budget 2026. These focal points include initiatives designed to foster a stronger, more independent, and resilient national economy, alongside targeted efforts aimed at making daily life more affordable for Canadians across the country.
Later on the same day, Minister Champagne will travel to Ottawa, Ontario, for a second engagement hosted by the Canadian Club of Ottawa. In this separate armchair discussion, he will similarly present the federal government’s economic priorities and address its broader national growth agenda.
The dual events provide a public platform for the Department of Finance to communicate its strategic economic planning and policy direction directly to business, policy, and civic audiences in Canada's financial and political hubs prior to the release of Budget 2026.
