The Government of Canada continues to make important investments in response to COVID-19, while ensuring other priorities, such as climate change, improved services for Indigenous peoples, infrastructure, and housing, are given the attention Canadians expect.

Today, the Honourable Mona Fortier, President of the Treasury Board of Canada, tabled the Supplementary Estimates (C), 2021–22, in the House of Commons.

These Supplementary Estimates propose $13.2 billion in voted budgetary spending across 70 federal organizations. This amount includes spending of $1.0 billion for additional therapeutics to treat COVID-19.

Additional proposed expenditures support a variety of government priorities, including addressing the impacts of climate change and support for housing, education, water treatment, health services and emergency response activities for Indigenous Canadians and their communities. 

The Supplementary Estimates also show, for information purposes, forecast budgetary statutory expenditures of $3.9 billion, which includes funding for the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit and ventilation improvement projects in schools.

The Estimates family of documents provides Canadians and parliamentarians with insight into how the Government plans to invest taxpayer money.
