Forbes: Canada's 2025 Budget Focuses on Sustainable Infrastructure Investments

Canada's 2025 federal budget, "Canada Strong," prioritizes nation-building by framing climate policy as an industrial strategy focused on sovereignty and sustainability. The budget allocates $280 billion over five years for capital investment, targeting infrastructure, productivity, and enhanced competitiveness. A cornerstone of the budget is the Climate Competitiveness Strategy, underpinned by three key pillars: establishing long-term certainty in industrial carbon pricing, implementing comprehensive clean-investment tax credits, and providing new financing for critical minerals. The plan extends vital incentives, including a Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) tax credit ranging from 50 to 60 percent. This detailed fiscal plan demonstrates a strategic commitment to building a resilient economy through clean-power grids, domestic manufacturing, and secure low-carbon supply chains.
