The government has been focused on making life more affordable for Canadians, including new measures to provide relief at the pumps and make groceries and other essentials more affordable.

Measures to make life more affordable, including tax cuts, lower gas prices, reduced fees, and consumer protections provide cost-of-living relief.

Financial relief for middle class families and first time homebuyers through tax changes are supporting Canadian households and families.

While investments in jobs, skills training, student support, and large scale employment programs are ensuring Canada has the workers it needs to build Canada strong.
