Election information source ↗Government and alternative plans
Source documents for reference. A party's costing is its own estimate unless identified as independent. Different years, definitions and government levels are not directly comparable. These documents do not automatically change the simulator.
Spring Economic Update 2026: Canada Strong for all ↗
The April update proposes C$25bn in cash seed capital over three years for an equity-investing Canada Strong Fund. It records a 25% GST-credit increase for five years from July 2026, alongside a separate one-time top-up. These are the update's announcements and projections, not a September verification of implementation or an appropriation law. Cash investments are not interchangeable with accrual expenses. No matched current opposition budget is verified; the 2025 election costing archive remains historical.
Cut Housing Taxes to Save You Money ↗
The party proposes permanent GST removal for new homes up to C$1.3m and claims savings up to C$65,000. Its separate request to halve municipal development charges is not a federal tax rate. No aggregate budget totals, commencement date, provincial HST removal or detailed eligibility framework are supplied in this statement. This selected policy is not a complete alternative budget or a same-period pair with the April federal update.

Pension eligibility and payments
Selected scheme verifiedCPP and Old Age Security (OAS)
- Eligibility age
- CPP 65 standard (60–70); OAS 65+
- Payment basis
- CPP Jan 2026 maximum: C$1,507.65/month at 65
*Published CPP maximum for pensions starting January 2026, not a typical payment; contribution history and starting age matter. CPP falls 0.6% per early month or rises 0.7% per deferred month relative to 65. OAS is separate and depends on residence, age and income; do not add maximums into a universal entitlement. Quebec’s QPP is not covered here.
Reference information only. These rules and payments do not change the simulator’s fiscal model or calculate an individual pension entitlement.
