这份名为《加拿大强盛》的2025年预算案规划了大幅增加国防开支、缩减公务员规模以及“代际投资”计划。

与美国旷日持久的贸易战以及国内经济疲软，迫使马克·卡尼在其首份联邦预算中出现的赤字比最初预测高出数百亿加元。

这份名为《加拿大强盛》的支出计划，拟大幅增加国防开支，缩减公务员规模，并通过“世代投资”重塑国家经济格局。

预算案开篇指出："世界正经历着自柏林墙倒塌以来前所未见的速度、规模和范围的根本性变革。这并非渐进式转变，而是一场断裂——在短时间内发生的代际更迭。"

在公布其国家经济愿景之前，卡尼曾多次强调，随着与美国贸易停滞不前、大企业外流以及关税重创关键产业，加拿大亟需开拓新市场。

作为大规模支出计划的一部分，加拿大政府将在五年内增加80亿加元的国防开支，以应对一个“日益危险且分裂的世界”。此前，卡尼曾承诺实现北约将国内生产总值的3.5%用于国防的目标，但支出文件并未明确表明加拿大距离实现这一目标还有多远。

该预算计划到2028-29年缩减联邦公务员规模，使其恢复到与2021年相近的水平。政府拟通过调整退休政策——而非裁员——来实现这一目标。

但文件中详细列出了为避免经济衰退所需的资本支出相关成本。

去年12月的财政更新报告显示，2025-26财年联邦赤字原预计为422亿加元。但根据自由党的计划，2025-26财年赤字将达783亿加元。政府表示，其目标是在2029-30财年前将联邦赤字削减至566亿加元。

保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫迅速在社交媒体上发文称，卡尼"几乎使（前总理贾斯廷·）特鲁多的财政赤字翻了一番，并维持了自由党对食品杂货、就业、能源和住房建设的征税政策"。

尽管反对党批评预算案开支要么过度要么不足，一位保守党议员仍宣布将加入自由党党团。

新斯科舍省议员克里斯·德恩特蒙特表示：'马克·卡尼总理通过新预算案提供了这条路径，该预算案回应了我从选区民众那里最常听到的优先事项——建设强大的社区基础设施并发展更强劲的经济。因此我决定加入政府党团。'他补充说，这一决定是在'与选民及家人进行深思熟虑的对话'后作出的。

议员转投阵营对卡尼领导的自由党而言是一场关键胜利，该党目前在议会中处于少数派执政地位。此前，自由党需争取其他党派三名议员的支持才能通过预算案并避免提前选举。随着德安特雷蒙加入自由党阵营，所需支持人数已降至两席。

议会预计将就预算案展开为期四天的辩论，随后于11月17日对该支出计划进行表决。

Entitled Canada Strong the 2025 budget envisions significant new defence spending, a reduction of the civil service and generational investments

A protracted trade war with the United States and a weakening domestic economy has forced Mark Carney to run a deficit tens of billions larger than initially forecast in his first-ever federal budget.

The spending plan, titled Canada Strong envisions significant new defence spending, a reduction of the countrys civil service and generational investments that would reshape the nature of the countrys economy.

The world is undergoing a series of fundamental shifts at a speed, scale, and scope not seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the opening pages of the budget say. This is not a transition. It is a rupture C a generational shift taking place over a short period of time.

Prior to unveiling his economic vision for the country, Carney had repeatedly stressed the need for Canada to seek out new markets as trade with the US stagnates , large corporations flee and tariffs batter key industries .

As part of its massive spending plan, the Canadian government is increasing defence spending by C$8bn over five years to combat an increasingly dangerous and divided world. Carney has previously pledged to meet Natos goal of spending 3.5% of gross domestic product on defense, but the spending document does little to indicate how close Canada is to meeting that target.

The budget envisions a reduction to the federal workforce by 2028-29 that would bring the civil service to a size similar to what is was in 2021. The government envision changes to retirement rules C not firings C to achieve that goal.

But the costs associated with the capital spending needed to avoid a recession are laid out in the document.

In last Decembers fiscal update, the federal deficit was projected to be $C42.2bn in 2025-26. But the Liberal plan will run a deficit of C$78.3bn in 2025-26. The government says it will aim to reduce the federal deficit to C$56.6bn by 2029-30.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre quickly posted on social media that Carney had nearly doubled [former prime minister Justin] Trudeaus deficit and kept Liberal taxes on groceries, work, energy, and homebuilding.

Despite criticism from opposition parties that the budget goes both too far in its spending or not far enough, one Conservative lawmaker announced he would join the Liberal caucus.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is offering that path with a new Budget that hits the priorities I have heard most in my riding, to build strong community infrastructure and grow a stronger economy. That is why I am joining the Government caucus, said Nova Scotia MP Chris dEntremont, adding the move came after thoughtful conversations with constituents and my family.

The floor crossing is a key win for Carneys Liberals, who govern with a parliamentary minority. Until Tuesday, the party needed the support of three lawmakers from other parties to pass this budget and avoid an election. With dEntremont now sitting with the Liberals, that figure drops to two.

Parliament is expected to debate the budget for four days, before voting on the spending plan on 17 November.
