Bill C-33: Appropriation Act No. 3, 2026-27

This is a government appropriations bill that funds federal departments and Crown corporations — it does not directly regulate or impose obligations on private businesses. However, businesses that receive federal grants, contributions, or contracts (such as those working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, National Research Council, regional development agencies, or defence procurement) may see funding flows affected. Companies in industries like rail transport, postal services, air security, tourism, and film production may be indirectly affected through the funding of Crown corporations like VIA Rail, Canada Post, CATSA, and Telefilm Canada. Businesses in all provinces that rely on federal contribution programs — particularly in construction, infrastructure, Indigenous services, and economic development — should be aware that this bill confirms the budget envelope available for those programs through March 2027.
