Budget 2025 Federal Policy Direction

Table A1.18

Table A1.18 in the 2025 Federal Canadian Budget serves as a comprehensive chronological ledger detailing all specific federal policy actions that have been formally announced and undertaken by the government since the release of the 2024 Fall Economic Statement (FES).

In essence, the table is a reconciliation and accountability tool. It systematically lists the decisions, legislative changes, and new spending or savings measures—whether fiscal or non-fiscal—that were not included in the baseline FES projections but have since been implemented or confirmed.

Its purpose is to provide transparency by ensuring a complete and auditable record of all new government policy initiatives that collectively define the evolving fiscal landscape and the final scope of the 2025 Budget.
