Aslam Rana, Hamilton Centre
“Our last budget helped people by cutting taxes, funding school food, hiring border and police officers, and helping workers. Filipino Canadian groups have shared what they need in the next budget. I look forward to passing that budget to help them and all Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, as we approach November 5, when our government will table budget 2026, I want to highlight what we have achieved through our previous budget. We removed the consumer carbon tax, introduced a GST rebate for first-time homebuyers, cut taxes for the middle class, made the national school food program permanent, hired 1,000 CBSA and 1,000 RCMP officers, introduced the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, provided $25 billion in support for workers impacted by tariffs and invested $1.2 billion to protect our oceans. A coalition of 19 Filipino Canadian organizations from every province recently submitted the community’s first unified pre-budget submission. As the member of Parliament for Hamilton Centre, which has a vibrant and integral Filipino community, I look forward to budget 2026 and the opportunities it will create for Filipino Canadians and all Canadians.”
