Prime Minister Carney highlights largest culture investment in Canadian history

Budget 2026 is the next step in your government's plan to make Canadians maîtres chez nous – building our sovereignty and giving us the freedom to live our lives as we choose. Sovereignty starts with creativity – the ability to express ourselves, tell our stories, and connect with each other. To these ends, Budget 2026 makes unprecedented investments in Canadian culture. Today in Montréal, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, highlighted the largest investment in culture in Canadian history – $4 billion. This will strengthen our institutions, expand the reach of Canadian culture, bring communities together, and empower artists.
