"For workers, the test of this budget is simple: will the richest corporations finally pay their fair share so we can invest in people, good jobs, and communities? Workers can't keep carrying the load while profits soar." – Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress
"What matters in Budget 2025 is whether it delivers real job-creating investments in housing, public infrastructure, and a net-zero future while ensuring workers can move into secure, union jobs with fair wages and benefits." – Bea Bruske, President of the Canadian Labour Congress
"Canada has the capacity to build a fairer, more resilient economy, but only if we stop letting concentrated corporate power dictate our priorities. This budget must shift us from short-term profit-first thinking to generational investment in people, productivity, and shared prosperity." -- DT Cochrane, Senior Economist, Canadian Labour Congress
