Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

27 in the House of Commons.

Through these Supplementary Estimates (A), 2026-2027, the government is seeking parliamentary approval of $11.1 billion in new voted spending to support key priorities for Canadians.

If approved by Parliament, these proposed expenditures will deliver essential services to Canadians, strengthen communities, and enhance national and international security.

This includes $4.0 billion to support treaty settlements, mental wellness and substance-use services, the Assisted Living Program, as well as other supports for Indigenous communities. An additional $2.3 billion is proposed for housing and infrastructure through the Build Communities Strong Fund, alongside $837 million to strengthen NATO security partnerships.

These Supplementary Estimates also reflect several initiatives announced in Budget 2025 and the Spring Update, including support for Canadian arts, culture, heritage and media, improved food security in remote communities, advanced trade diversification, and support for operations that promote peace and security in the Middle East.

In addition, these Supplementary Estimates include more than $1.2 billion in transportation-related funding. This includes $736.8 million for the Canadian Air Transportation Security Authority's operating and capital requirements, $261.8 million for VIA Rail Canada and $210.4 million for Marine Atlantic ferry services.
